Question
My child has been very disobedient lately, crying and fussing constantly, with coughing at night and in the morning. Medical examination did not reveal any obvious problems, and I’m asking how to treat it.
Answer
Based on your description of the symptoms, it is considered to be a sign of bronchitis. Treatment should include anti-infection medications. Cough medicine can be administered through intravenous infusion or by taking pediatric lung-clearing and expectorant granules, such as Xiklao, etc. It is also recommended to have the child drink plenty of water. There are many causes of respiratory system infections in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system infection, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately and use methods such as gastrointestinal decompression, while also cultivating good hygiene habits. Children need a balanced diet and should avoid eating spicy and cold foods.
