Question

After discharge from neonatal pneumonia, the child still has a persistent cough, and parents inquire about the proper handling.

Answer

According to the description, the child may be coughing due to weakness and infection. It is recommended to take a traditional Chinese medicine cough syrup for respiratory relief and to accompany it with easily digestible and absorbent diets, as well as regular lifestyle habits. Since the etiology of pediatric respiratory systems is complex, if the child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory system disease, parents should cooperate with doctors for active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression measures, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid consuming irritating and cold foods.
