Question

The child has no significant abnormalities in lung auscultation and chest X-ray, but they have been persistently coughing. How should this be handled?

Answer

The child’s lung auscultation and chest X-ray show no significant abnormalities. They have previously tested positive for the tuberculin skin test, indicating that the cough is not caused by pneumonia or tuberculosis. Consider issues related to the digestive system, anemia, and deficiencies in trace elements. Treatment should target the digestive system, supplement trace elements, regulate Qi and blood, and take medications to promote absorption and clear heat.
