Question
My child has been coughing frequently for several days. Could it be asthma? What should I do?
Answer
Coughing is a protective reflex in the respiratory tract, occurring after it is stimulated (such as inflammation, foreign bodies). While coughing can be a symptom of asthma, it is not the only symptom. Therefore, it is necessary to have a check-up at a regular hospital to prevent the condition from worsening.
