Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what medicine is suitable for a baby with a cold and cough?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, fever, and in severe cases, shortness of breath. It can be treated with San Yao Tang combined with herbs that reduce qi and resolve phlegm. There are many causes of respiratory issues in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents should cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, including gastric decompression, and cultivate good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
