Question 1: A 2-and-a-half-year-old child has been coughing at night for several days. I went to the hospital and found that there was no inflammation in the abdomen, throat, or lungs. More than 100 oral liquids were prescribed, and the baby also took the medicine, but there was still no improvement. Dr. Cui Lixia answered: It is suspected that the baby has allergic cough. This is one of the common respiratory diseases in children. It often manifests as lingering cough and repeated attacks. It is often misdiagnosed as a cold or bronchitis, and there is no significant improvement even after taking medicine. It is recommended to check the blood routine and use mycoplasma medication according to the infection situation. Pay special attention to whether the eosinophils in the blood routine are normal. If the eosinophils in the blood routine are high, it indicates allergic cough. Question 2: Hello, doctor, I am now 26 days postpartum, and the lochia is still constant. It disappeared ten days after delivery, and has returned in the past two days. It is intermittent, is bright red, and the amount is not large. May I ask? What is the reason for this? Dr. Li Tinghui answered: It usually takes about a month and a half for lochia to completely clear up. It is recommended that you go to the hospital now to check the situation in the uterine cavity to see if there is any placenta residue in the uterine cavity. If not, you can rest assured. Question 3: My baby is mixed-fed. Today he hiccuped even though he didn’t finish the milk powder, and he cried so much when he drank breast milk. Why? Dr. Wang Yanli’s answer: Don’t let your children eat too fast. It’s easy for children to swallow air if they eat too fast. Parents can let the baby take a few mouthfuls and take it out to catch his breath before eating. I cried a lot when I was breastfeeding. I thought it was because the amount of breast milk was too small to meet the baby\’s needs and the baby was crying.
