Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if my baby doesn't have a cold but has a sore throat?Doctor's answer:
If there is inflammation with cough, it is best to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a diagnosis. Let the practitioner determine whether the constitution is hot or cold and prescribe medication accordingly. This can make it easier to some conditions. However, the medicine can be bitter, and sugar should be avoided. Foods and vegetables also have hot and cold properties, so adults should adjust their diet based on their body condition.There are many triggers that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
