Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. By the way, how should I handle occasional coughing?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be a cold-induced cough caused by exposure to wind-cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, slight fever, and in severe cases, shortness of breath. It can be treated with San Yao Tang combined with herbs that regulate qi and resolve phlegm. There are many triggers for respiratory issues in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and cultivate good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
