I have a low fever, cough in episodes, each cough is red in the face and watery eyes. After the cough, the child takes long breaths, so there is a hissing sound. Sometimes the child's mouth has a lot of sticky sputum that cannot be spit out. Children can cough several dozen times a day, lasting from 2 to 3 weeks. I don't know what respiratory disease I have and how to treat it, doctor?
