Question
A 3-year-old child has been suffering from a cough for a month, initially accompanied by a fever. After the fever subsided, the cough persisted. The cough is more severe at night and also worsens during daytime activities. Various medications have been tried, including intravenous drips, but with little effect. Past treatment and outcomes: Initially, the child was given cold medicine and cough syrup, followed by three days of intravenous drips, and is currently trying traditional Chinese medicine. However, there has been no significant improvement. Seeking Help: I would like to know how to treat my child’s cough now and whether further detailed examinations are needed?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have experienced a fever and respiratory infection. It is recommended to first administer children’s Huaotong fever-reducing granules and children’s Lung Heat Cough Asthma granules, along with Azithromycin for adjustment. At the same time, maintain a light, mild, and easy-to-digest diet, and ensure adequate water intake. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you, and wish your child a speedy recovery!
