Question

A 7-year-old boy has been suffering from chronic morning cough, with symptoms including no phlegm, no fever, and no wheezing. He has previously taken cold medicine and antiviral drugs for prevention, but the effects were not satisfactory. Recently, his symptoms have worsened, and he inquires about medication options.

Answer

It is recommended to first undergo a chest X-ray and routine blood test. If urinary tract infection signs are detected, amoxicillin can be used for treatment for two weeks. Since the symptoms have become chronic, short-term treatment is limited in effectiveness. It is suggested to undergo specific immunotherapy (desensitization therapy), first determining the allergen before treatment.
