Question
What should I do if my 4-year-old keeps coughing all day? After three days of injections and medication, and an X-ray showing pneumonia, the doctor said it would take time to treat. But the child is still coughing all day. Are there any solutions?
Answer
The child’s cough may be caused by inflammation due to an upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended to use antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications in combination with expectorant medications for treatment. If the cough is severe, you can have the child inhale steam to help clear lung mucus and relieve cough symptoms.
