Question
My baby has a cough with phlegm but no vomiting, and no other symptoms. It’s almost two months now, and I feel it might have been caught from a friend at kindergarten. Previous treatment and its effectiveness: We’ve tried many different pediatric lung-clearing medications, but there’s been no improvement! How can we clear the lungs? I’m worried that the cough lasting this long might lead to other diseases! Thank you.
Answer
Based on your description, it appears that your child may be experiencing a persistent cough due to chronic tonsillitis. For your situation, I recommend that you take your child for physical therapy. Visit the physical therapy department of the hospital and use ultrashort wave regional thermotherapy on the throat area. This treatment is administered once a day for 20 minutes, with a course consisting of 5 days. This method can effectively promote the resolution of regional inflammation in the throat, achieving the goal of treating the cough. It has proven to be effective with no side effects!
