Question
I don’t know what’s wrong, but my child has been crying and fussing lately, and even after taking them to the hospital, no issues have been found. Is enema therapy a good method for children’s cough?
Answer
It is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment. Enema therapy is generally harmless for children, but each case is different and the most appropriate treatment method should be determined based on the child’s condition. The child may have been infected with a virus, so it is suggested to actively treat the condition and administer fever-reducing medication if there is a fever. If the fever persists above 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medication or fever-reducing suppositories can be used. There are many factors that can cause respiratory diseases in children, so if the child is diagnosed with a respiratory disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including the use of gastric tubes for decompression and maintaining good hygiene habits. Children should consume appropriate diets and avoid cold or hot foods.
