Question
A 4-year-old boy developed bronchitis last month. After treatment, he now has a dry throat and difficulty coughing up phlegm, which persists throughout the day and night.
Answer
It is recommended to take herbal lozenges for clearing the lungs, resolving phlegm, and cough suppression, as well as cephalosporin antibiotics. Drink plenty of plain water. If symptoms do not improve, consider nebulizer inhalation therapy. If accompanied by a runny nose, you can take Hongtong granules and Xiaokuaikè. At the same time, it is important to maintain good hygiene habits and avoid the child from being picky or having a preference for certain foods to ensure a balanced diet.
