Question
What could be the reason why a child’s cough doesn’t seem to get better? For the past twenty days, there has been a bit of coughing, followed by a fever after taking traditional Chinese medicine. Then, after taking three days of Hizuxi tablets, the fever returned and traditional Chinese medicine was taken again. The cough still didn’t improve, so an X-ray was taken at the hospital, and the doctor said it was right-sided bronchitis. After another three days of Hizuxi tablets and traditional Chinese medicine, a total of more than twenty doses of traditional Chinese medicine were taken, but the cough still wasn’t completely gone. It’s not a severe cough, but it still happens, like a tickling in the throat. Sometimes there’s a sensation of phlegm. Past treatment and its effects: took more than twenty days of traditional Chinese medicine. What kind of help is needed: still have some cough, can I take Lung Peace granules? How much should I take?
Answer
The child’s condition is cough caused by bronchitis, which does not respond well to oral medication, and taking Lung Peace granules is also unlikely to be effective. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination. If diagnosed with bronchitis, early intravenous treatment should be initiated. While undergoing treatment, you can also take Kekemisen to relieve cough symptoms, and pay attention to drinking plenty of water and eating fewer snacks. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
