Question

My four-year-old nephew started having a severe cough with wheezing sounds after drinking a bottle of cola in cold weather. Although he has been receiving intravenous injections at the hospital for two days, the symptoms have not improved. Seeking effective treatment methods for children’s cough.

Answer

  1. If a child suddenly develops severe cough and breathing difficulties, it may be due to a foreign object blocking the airway. Commonly swallowed objects include peanuts, pencil caps, pills, buttons, and coins, which can be very dangerous and should be immediately taken to the hospital.
  2. High fever, cough, wheezing, and difficulty breathing should prompt an immediate trip to the hospital for emergency treatment.
  3. Infants are prone to bronchiolitis, a type of pneumonia. If the child’s face appears blue or purple, or if they breathe rapidly and the chest wall sinks in during inhalation, it should also be treated immediately at the hospital. Targeted treatment based on detailed examination results is essential for achieving the best outcome. Wishing everyone good health!
