Question
The current cough has been ongoing for several weeks. A few days ago, there was a sudden fever, and after examination, it was found that the tonsils were inflamed. Although the fever has subsided, the cough has not stopped. Various traditional and Western medications have been taken, including pediatric Mahan Gan Granules, pediatric Cough and Asthma Granules, pediatric Qing Fei Liang Xue Oral Liquid, Clindamycin, Cefradine, and Cefixime, but the symptoms have not improved. The coughing at night is more severe and can even lead to vomiting, causing concern.
Answer
Considering the above symptoms, the cough may be caused by allergic factors. Exposure to allergens such as pollen, paint, shellfish, and other allergens could be one of the reasons. In terms of medication treatment, it is recommended to adopt anti-allergic therapy and consider using cetirizine drops. In terms of daily care, it is advisable to drink more water, consume sufficient fruits and vegetables to increase vitamins, maintain a balanced diet, avoid fad diets, and reduce the intake of snacks.
