What to do if you have a viral cough

If the cough is severe, you should consider Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. It is recommended to check for Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies to assist in diagnosis. If it is Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, azithromycin is generally effective and the effect lasts for 48 to 72 hours. Symptomatic treatment mainly consists of nebulized and oral cough suppressants. If the child has a history of asthma, consider the possibility of viral infection triggering asthma. The child can go to the hospital to have a doctor auscultate the child and, if necessary, have a chest X-ray, lung function test, and allergen test to rule out asthma.

Coughing itself is a protective reflex and is related to respiratory inflammation. If the inflammation is not well controlled, the cough will not be significantly relieved. Although there are better cough suppressants, they are only symptomatic treatments and are only suitable for dry coughs without sputum. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to find out the cause and then adjust the treatment plan.
