In your case, it might be a wind-cold cold with coughing, known as "wind-cold cough." This is a syndrome caused by exposure to wind-cold. The symptoms of this syndrome include frequent coughing, thin and white phlegm, 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 plus herbs that lower Qi and resolve phlegm. There are many reasons that can cause respiratory issues in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system problem, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
