Question
My child has been very disobedient lately, crying and fussing constantly, and he coughs severely at night. We took him to the doctor for a check-up but there was no result. I don’t know what to do?
Answer
Hello, first of all, please note that if a child experiences severe coughing at night without wheezing symptoms, it is usually not asthma. It is recommended to provide medication treatment for the child and consider checking for allergens to determine if it is an allergic cough. In terms of medication, you can give your child Mucinex and children’s honey lemon granules. Additionally, consider giving oral zinc gluconate and probiotics to enhance the child’s immunity. Moreover, it is suggested to have your child eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid fussy eating, and steer clear of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and chicken essence. Finally, if the child’s symptoms do not improve, consider having the child injected with SciCan to enhance resistance.
