Question
The 4-week-old baby has been suffering from recurrent coughing, initially accompanied by common cold symptoms, but the cough persists even after the cold symptoms have disappeared. She has been treated at Xiaoshan People’s Hospital and City One Hospital, but the coughing still continues. What could be the possible causes?
Answer
Hello, based on the situation you described, the cough could be caused by various factors. It is suggested to try taking medications such as Compound Licorice Tablets, Dosephrine Tablets, and Amoxicillin. If there are symptoms of allergy or bronchitis, consider using medications such as Dexamethasone and Compound Bronchitis Tablets. Additionally, if there are cold symptoms, you can take Aminophylline Capsules for treatment. These medications should be effective in relieving the cough, so it’s worth a try. Moreover, the etiology of pediatric respiratory system diseases is complex. If diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory system disease, parents should immediately cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression and cultivating good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to a balanced diet for children and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
