Question
A colleague’s granddaughter is 3 years old and frequently coughs. Although she has seen a doctor, no obvious problem has been identified. The family is asking for advice on how to help the child stop coughing and strengthen their immunity.
Answer
It is recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination, particularly to exclude the possibility of cough variant asthma. At the same time, attention should be paid to strengthening the child’s constitution, avoiding taking the child to crowded places, maintaining good indoor ventilation, and administering appropriate medication such as Etanercept when the child coughs to alleviate symptoms. The most important thing at present is to determine whether asthma is present and take corresponding treatment measures. I hope my answer satisfies you.
