What is the reason why the child has been coughing for more than ten days?
The child's cough is not good for more than ten days, which may be caused by improper medication, non-standard medication, aggravation of the disease, failure to do a good job of self-management, and untimely treatment, etc., and needs to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
1. Improper medication
If the patient does not follow the doctor's instructions and take the medication on time, the disease may not be effective. Patients can be treated with cough suppressants according to the doctor's instructions, such as ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution, dextromethorphan hydrobromide granules, etc., or they can be treated with amoxicillin granules, azithromycin granules and other drugs according to the doctor's instructions.
2. Non-standard medication
If the patient does not follow the doctor's instructions to take the medication on time, the effect of the disease treatment may be affected, and the cough may persist for more than 10 days. Patients need to adjust the medication regimen under the guidance of the doctor, and also need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions to take the medication and avoid taking the drug blindly.
3. Aggravation of the disease
If the patient does not pay attention to his own care during the treatment and often eats spicy and irritating foods such as chili pepper and Sichuan pepper, the disease may be further aggravated, and the cough will last for more than ten days. Patients can drink more warm water, or they can follow the doctor's instructions to use compound fresh bamboo drain, compound licorice tablets and other drugs for treatment.
4. Failure to do a good job in self-management
If the patient does not do a good job of keeping himself warm, the body may be exposed to cold air, which may worsen the cough. Patients can wear more clothing to keep warm, and they can also drink more hot water, but avoid eating raw and cold foods.
5. The treatment is not timely
If the child's cough is not good for more than 10 days, it may not be treated in time and effectively, resulting in repeated attacks. It is recommended that patients take Ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution, pediatric cough syrup and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and can also be treated by aerosol inhalation.
In daily life, parents should pay attention to keeping their children warm and avoid getting cold. If your child has any symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
