Question
My child, who is four and a half years old, is experiencing severe coughing at night without any runny nose. What could be the cause of this cough? We are currently using pediatric lung-clearing granules and have been using the antibiotic Azithromycin for two and a half days, but the condition has not improved. What should we do?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be suffering from a respiratory infection that is exacerbating the cough. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, and take the child to the hospital for routine blood tests and lung auscultation. Consider using nebulizer inhalation therapy.
