Question
The child has been coughing for about a week, mainly when waking up in the morning, with no coughing during the day or at night. What are some good treatment methods? I would prefer not to give medication…
Answer
Based on your description, I recommend that you take your child to the pediatric department of a local hospital for a consultation, where blood routine tests and chest X-rays can be conducted to determine the cause of the cough. At the same time, maintain a humid indoor environment, encourage your child to drink plenty of water, and ensure adequate rest—all of which can help alleviate cough symptoms. If medication is necessary, follow the doctor’s advice. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
