Frequent dry coughs affect sleep and rest. You can take a small amount of antitussive drugs, such as promethazine and chlorpromazine 0.5-1 mg/kg/time, 2-3 times a day. Care should be taken to avoid overdose and prolonged use, which will affect the physiological activity of cilia and make secretions difficult to discharge.
