Question
A 1-year-and-8-month-old child coughs during naptime at night and also intermittently during the day. This symptom has persisted for about half a month. Although medication has been taken, the coughing has not improved. I would like to inquire about the possible cause and how to handle the situation.
Answer
According to the description, the child has been experiencing coughing both during the day and at night since about half a month ago, and has taken various medications without any improvement. This may be due to indigestion in the stomach. It is recommended to give the child some medicine to aid digestion and eliminate food residue. Also, do not force feeding when the child is unwilling to eat, allowing the stomach time to rest and recover. Additionally, you can try giving the child some pear to eat, which may help alleviate the cough. Finally, I wish the child a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
