Question
A 6-year-old child has been suffering from recurrent cough for several months, with no effect from medication. The coughing is severe at night, sometimes accompanied by dry heaves, and produces white, transparent phlegm. During the day, the cough is mild with a runny nose.
Answer
Based on your description, it is initially suspected that the child may have bronchitis. It is recommended to take the child to a regular medical institution to register with the respiratory department for a detailed examination and diagnosis. The doctor will formulate a corresponding treatment plan based on the child’s specific condition, which may include treatments such as nebulizer inhalation therapy to remove phlegm, clear the lungs, and anti-inflammatory measures.
