Patient: Description (Main Symptoms, Onset) My son has been coughing repeatedly for almost a month now, and his cough is accompanied by wheezing, but he is better at night when he goes to sleep, and there is no obvious wheezing. In the past, when I was young, I didn’t have a cough, but in the last two years, every time I had a cough, I had a bit of wheezing, and this spring, I had heavier wheezing. I started to give him Chinese herbal medicine this year, and the coughing effect is not bad, but it seems to have little effect on asthma. Last week, I went to see Director Wu and hung up the water for four days and basically got better. I didn’t give him any medication because I observed him during the day and he didn’t cough much, but I’m afraid he’ll start to wheeze again tomorrow when he gets worse. I don’t give him any medicine, but I’m afraid it will get worse tomorrow and he will start wheezing again. I would like to ask Director Wu what to do. The general anti-inflammatory drugs are not very effective, are hanging water faster so repeatedly sick I really headache, want to teach Wu director how to do good, my son loves to sweat, school a move on sweat a sweat on the sick, is really hurt. The first thing you should do is to give him some supplements to help him out. Wu Yuanjun, Department of Pediatrics, Jiangsu Maternal and Child Health Center: Your child has two problems: one is recurrent respiratory infections; the other is coughing and wheezing after respiratory infections. For the first problem, this is a common phenomenon for kindergarten children, basically at this age children have 6-8 colds per year, mainly because children live in kindergarten groups, there is the possibility of cross-infection; in addition, some children usually wear too much, a little activity will sweat, if not timely plug dry or change clothes, it is easy to catch a cold. Parents of children in this situation tend to think that their children have poor immunity, but in fact there are very few children who really have poor immunity. How to solve these problems: usually do not put too many clothes on the child so that he or she does not sweat after light activities; usually take some multivitamins and some astragalus in autumn and winter. The second problem is coughing and wheezing; this is mainly determined by the child’s natural constitution, but not that a child with coughing and wheezing has a poor immune system. It can be controlled by nebulized inhalation or intravenous medication during the acute development. The key issue is how to reduce the number and severity of wheezing after a cold, if your child has recurrent episodes, more than 3 times a year, it is recommended that you can usually use some inhalation or oral preventive medicine, many parents worry about the side effects of taking these drugs, in fact, you can rest assured that this has been confirmed in clinical studies at home and abroad, the side effects are very small, almost negligible; also remind parents that if repeated It is also important to remind parents that the negative effects of repeated wheezing episodes on their children are far greater than the side effects of long-term preventive medication. If you have any further questions, please continue to communicate. Patient: Thank you very much, Director Wu. I would like to ask you again, what are the usual inhalation or oral prophylactic medications? How should I use them? I’m always worried about whether long-term medication will affect the brain development of children, and how long does it usually take for such treatment? Because I am allergic, I sometimes take some anti-allergy medication, and I tend to get depressed and sleepy afterwards, so I wonder if my child will also have these symptoms with medication. In addition, I am giving him some nutritional products, such as Amway’s vitamin C and protein powder, and I don’t know if I can take any Grow Happy Calcium tablets, so I would like to ask Director Wu. Thank you! Jiangsu Maternal and Child Health Center, Pediatrics Department, Wu Yuanjun: The most common preventive medicine is inhaled low-dose hormone or oral cisplatin, usually treat for 3 months to see the results, and then slowly reduce the amount. Some children only need seasonal prophylaxis as well. Anti-allergy medication is generally not used, and if it is, it is Keratan, a drug that has no side effects on the heart or nervous system. I don’t know what anti-allergy medication you are using yourself? I don’t advocate nutritional supplements for children.
