Question
A 5.5-year-old boy has been suffering from a persistent cough for three weeks. He experiences severe coughing around midnight, which stops once he wakes up. His cough is milder during the day. Additionally, he has symptoms of a blocked nose.
Answer
For this condition, doctors suggest that a change in medication may be necessary. If penicillin or erythromycin is found to be unsuitable for the child or causes severe gastrointestinal reactions, consider using cefixime and Pulmicort syrup exclusively. At the same time, parents should strengthen their child’s daily care, avoid catching a cold or catching a cold, pay attention to warmth, and reduce contact with people who have colds. We hope the child recovers soon.
