ANS: A
This child has manifestations of bronchitis, which is frequently viral in nature. A dry, hacking cough gives way to a productive cough. Older children can be encouraged to cough up their secretions, but younger children often swallow them, leading to vomiting. Cough drops are not generally used, so as to encourage secretion mobilization. Because this disease is usually viral in nature, antibiotics are not routinely used. Cool-mist humidifiers are preferred over warm.
