Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. By the way, can a baby get a vaccine if they occasionally cough?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind-cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale red tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that reduce qi and resolve phlegm. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, 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.
