Question
My child has been coughing for three months now. Plasters don’t work, neither does medication or intravenous drip. The child cries during nighttime naps and is not well-behaved during the day, crying and making a fuss. I’m almost worried sick.
Answer
I’m sorry to hear about your distress. Based on your description, your child may have developed high sensitivity in the respiratory tract following a cold, leading to persistent coughing. It is suggested that you allow the child to rest more and maintain adequate hydration, while also consuming fresh fruits and vegetables to increase vitamin C intake. In terms of treatment, in addition to using expectorant and antibiotic medications, it may also be beneficial to combine antihistamines to enhance treatment effectiveness. I hope my suggestions can be of help to you and that your child recovers quickly.
