  1. Persistent coughing accompanied by acid regurgitation.
  2. A sensation of wanting to vomit during coughing.
  3. Severe cough at night, accompanied by fever.

Answer

It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up to find the cause and treat the symptoms accordingly for effective results. Pay attention to the possibility of viral influenza, tonsillitis, or subtle pneumonia. After clear examination, targeted treatment should be administered. Of course, it is important to control body temperature promptly, as high fever may lead to febrile seizures in children. The main methods are medication for lowering body temperature and physical cooling methods, and it is best to use the specific medication under the guidance of a doctor.
