Question
A four-year-old boy has been coughing since May. He has visited the doctor several times and received treatment, but the symptoms have not improved. How should it be handled?
Answer
Based on the description, the boy’s condition may be caused by an upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to visit a nearby children’s hospital for a chest X-ray and blood test. If there are no significant issues, consider complementary treatments such as nebulization or acupuncture, while also drinking plenty of water and reducing the intake of cold and spicy foods. If blood test results are abnormal, symptomatic treatment is required. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
