Question
An 8-year-old child has developed a cough again after taking Sinusoid for 15 days. The child is asking what they should do now and whether they should continue taking Sinusoid.
Answer
Sinusoid can be used to treat allergic coughs, but if the patient’s symptoms have not improved or have recurred, they should consult a doctor and consider other treatment options. Allergic coughs, also known as cough variant asthma, often occur at night or in the morning with little phlegm and are not effectively treated with antibiotics. The treatment goal should focus on eliminating the cause, preventing recurrence, and preventing attacks. If the patient has a history of catching a cold leading to fever, preventing a recurrence of cold may help prevent the cough from coming back.
