Question
Three weeks ago, I suddenly developed a fever and suffered from tonsillitis. Although the fever has subsided, the cough persists. I have taken traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, such as children’s Mahan Gan Granules, children’s cough asthma granules, children’s Qing Fei Liang Xue Oral Liquid, Clindamycin, Cefradine, Cefcortim, but the cough has not improved. At night, the situation is particularly severe, with whole-night coughing and even vomiting, which is quite concerning. What medication should be chosen for the treatment of persistent cough?
Answer
The above symptoms may indicate allergic cough, possibly caused by exposure to allergens such as pollen, paint, shrimp and crab foods. In terms of medication treatment, it is recommended to actively undergo anti-allergy treatment and use cetirizine drops for treatment. In terms of daily care, it is important to drink plenty of water, consume more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins, avoid fad diets, and do not frequently eat snacks.
