Question
The child has been suffering from a persistent cough for several months, with symptoms fluctuating between good and bad. They have sought medical attention multiple times. Initially, the cough was triggered by a cold, and later diagnosed as lung heat. Recently, the doctor indicated that it was caused by a viral infection. Last Thursday, the doctor conducted a detailed blood test, and all indicators were normal, diagnosing it as a viral infection. However, the medication has now been exhausted, and the child has not fully recovered.
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the child’s cough has been ongoing for a longer period. Have you checked for mycoplasma pneumoniae infection yet? Considering the child’s current condition, it is first necessary to check for mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. If the test results are negative, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of allergic cough. Chlorpheniramine syrup and Montelukast sodium chewable tablets can be taken, along with increased fluid intake. Wishing the child a speedy recovery and good health and a beautiful life.
