Question

The child has been coughing and sneezing for four days, and the medication hasn’t improved the condition. At night, the coughing is severe. Previous medical treatment and outcomes: Visited the hospital, the doctor examined and said there was nothing serious, prescribed some medication to take. I suggested the doctor administer two days of intravenous drip. Desired assistance: Hello, does the child prefer to take medication or drink it, and what medication works faster?

Answer

If the child’s general condition is good and the cough is not frequent, there should be no major issue. Consider it a common respiratory infection or urinary tract inflammation. It can be treated initially with oral medication and monitored. If there’s no improvement after taking oral medication for less than three days, it’s best to have a hospital check-up and, if necessary, receive intravenous fluids along with nebulizer inhalation. These are my suggestions for the question “What should a child eat for a fast recovery when coughing and sneezing?” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
