Question

A 2-year-old girl is experiencing a recurrence of pneumonia, with persistent coughing. What treatment advice do you have?

Answer

The physician recommends using expectorant and cough-suppressing medications, as well as antibiotics, along with adequate hydration, rest, and as needed, nebulizer inhalation therapy. If symptoms do not subside, continuous medical treatment should be sought. In addition, attention should be given to a balanced diet and the avoidance of picky eating.
