Question

My three-year-old daughter has been coughing for quite some time, and although it has improved a lot, I’m not sure what’s causing it. It’s not constant, just a cough every few minutes, and it feels very dry. She has been taking cough medicine, but it hasn’t changed. What should I do?

Answer

Based on your description, it’s likely that the symptoms are caused by an uncomfortable throat. Suggestions: Give the child more hot water to drink, eat vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, pay attention to rest and keep warm to prevent catching a cold. Adequate exercise can increase resistance. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
