Novel coronavirus pneumonia is common in the population, including children. The symptoms of infection in children are mostly similar to those of adults, i.e. fever and cough. In contrast to adults, children may have atypical symptoms, with some having a distinct cough, diarrhea, or conjunctivitis, while others may have milder symptoms or be completely asymptomatic. If the cough is prolonged, it is important to identify whether there are secondary infections other than the novel coronavirus pneumonia. Because children have lower resistance, they are more susceptible to respiratory pathogens, such as influenza, mycoplasma, and chlamydia. For the new coronavirus pneumonia, it is generally believed that children’s symptoms are lighter than adults, faster recovery, cough duration should be 1-2 weeks, such as more than 2 weeks cough does not get better, in addition to giving symptomatic treatment, you can drink cough medication, but also can drink honey, drink more water, drink apple juice, to alleviate the symptoms of sputum viscous, alleviate the symptoms of cough. If the fever and cough lasts more than 2 weeks, be sure to rule out the possibility of secondary other infections. Source: Dr. Yurai
