Question
How can we relieve the problem of repeated coughing in children?
Answer
Repeated coughing in children is mainly caused by recurrent upper respiratory infections, lower respiratory infections, and chronic pharyngitis. Parents should pay attention to providing their children with sufficient nutrition and encourage outdoor activities to strengthen their constitution. When children experience coughing again, they should seek medical attention immediately. Doctors will make an objective diagnosis based on the child’s condition and symptoms, and prescribe appropriate medication to achieve the goal of treatment. After the child’s coughing symptoms are relieved, parents should not rush to stop the medication. It is necessary to continue taking the medication for a period of time to restore the child’s constitution and improve their resistance.
