Answer
The symptoms exhibited by the child may be a type of allergic cough, characterized by persistent coughing that recurs at night or in the morning, with little phlegm, relief during activity, ineffective antibiotic treatment, and bronchodilators can alleviate coughing. Currently, it should be performed routine blood tests and mycoplasma/chlamydia antibody tests to exclude the possibility of bacterial infection or mycoplasma infection, and then consider the possibility of cough caused by allergies. If it is caused by allergies, appropriate use of Cetrilin syrup and Shun’er Ning tablets can be considered. In daily life, precautions should be taken to avoid contact with allergens.
