Question
My child is just 2 years old and has been suffering from a persistent cough and runny nose for half a month. After a period of medication, the symptoms have been reduced, but suddenly, the symptoms have worsened, with coughing up phlegm and difficulty sleeping. I am asking why this happened and how to deal with it.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be suffering from symptoms caused by a cold, such as coughing and runny nose. When symptoms worsen, further medical examination and treatment may be necessary, such as injections of antibiotics and cough suppressants. However, there are still recurrent episodes after medication. It is recommended that parents closely monitor their child’s condition and seek medical advice promptly to receive professional diagnosis and treatment suggestions.
