What to Do If a Child Has Severe Coughing?

Question

The child has been coughing severely, with the fever gone but the coughing persists. There was a case of persistent fever before, and after examination, it was found to be teething, and the child received intravenous treatment and the fever subsided. The child has now been discharged from the hospital but continues to cough.

Answer

Is the baby experiencing any signs of cold recently? The baby’s fever and cough might be caused by a cold. Now that the cough is severe, it is recommended to revisit the hospital for a lung auscultation and, if necessary, have a chest X-ray taken to rule out the possibility of pneumonia. Drinking warm water and taking Erythromycin can help. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you and your family good health!
