Question
What should be done if a child has viral tracheitis, with symptoms like coughing, runny nose, phlegm?
Answer
Antiviral medications such as Yanhuning can be used, along with antibiotics like erythromycin for treatment. At the same time, oral cough syrup can be administered to help with the treatment. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be used for temporary cooling (temperature reduction). Additionally, it is important to work with the doctor for gastrointestinal pressure reduction and to pay attention to hygiene habits. Parents should also avoid their child’s picky eating and ensure a balanced diet.
