Question
My child, who is a bit over four years old, has been coughing for two days without improvement, accompanied by a runny nose and sneezing, and there’s an unusual sound in the throat. Do I need to see a different doctor?
Answer
It is recommended to undergo a blood test to confirm whether it is a bacterial or viral infection, and consider using symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, taking pediatric lozenges may be effective in treating the common cold.
