Question
A 1-year-2-month-old child occasionally coughs at night, but it’s not severe. However, recently, the nighttime coughing has become more frequent. Different types of medications have been taken in the past month, including cefprozil, Eitanjing, and Magan. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
The child’s nighttime cough may be caused by a mycoplasma infection due to exposure to cold at night, usually presenting as mild coughing. The cough persists for a longer duration. It is recommended to use anti-mycoplasma medications such as roxithromycin capsules, in conjunction with children’s cough syrup. Additionally, it is advised to avoid cold and wind at night. Hope these suggestions are helpful to you. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Wishing your child a speedy recovery. Your approval is our greatest encouragement!
