Children with dry cough, weak walking and no appetite may be due to laryngitis and tonsillitis, which can be controlled by general treatment and medication.
1. Laryngitis
(1) General treatment: It is recommended to have a light and highly nutritious diet, including eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits, etc., and increase the amount of water intake; do not eat spicy and stimulating foods due to dulled sense of taste.
(2) Medication: Laryngitis is usually accompanied by a strong dry cough, as well as fatigue, loss of taste, loss of appetite and other discomforts. Can be used through the use of amoxicillin, cefuroxime and other drugs for anti-infection treatment, as well as budesonide nebulized inhalation, or systemic use of dexamethasone and other drugs to improve cough, pharyngeal inflammation edema symptoms.
2. Tonsillitis
The treatment strategy for tonsillitis is similar to that of laryngitis, but usually does not start with hormonal drugs to improve cough symptoms, and usually focuses on cough suppressants such as dextromethorphan and phenprocoumon.
Children with symptoms such as dry cough, weakness in walking, and lack of appetite are advised to go to the hospital promptly to prevent delays. It should be noted that the above drugs should be used under the guidance of clinicians to avoid adverse reactions.
