The sick child does not need bed rest, more outdoor activities in the fresh air environment, often can make the cough reduced. Try to avoid crying, smoke and other cough-inducing adverse stimuli. Diet should be small and frequent, with some appropriate food supplements after vomiting. Children with obvious spasmodic cough should go to the hospital in time, and can be treated with chloramphenicol or odorless erythromycin, and older children can take avian bile tablets (whooping cough tablets) or Chinese herbal medicine. Serious cough at night, can take sedative red, young whooping cough infants, such as the occurrence of bruising, suffocation or convulsions, must be hospitalized early.
