Question
What could be the causes of a 3-year-old boy’s coughing, wheezing, and fever?
Answer
The possible causes for a 3-year-old boy’s coughing, wheezing, and fever may include asthma or tonsillitis. The first-line medication for asthma is a beta-agonist, such as salbutamol inhaler, combined with traditional Chinese medicine. For tonsillitis, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, take azithromycin and throat-soothing medications, and ensure good indoor air circulation. Increasing fruits and vegetables in the diet can help improve symptoms by taking the Lanqin oral liquid.
