Patient's question:
Taking traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. The Western medicine doctor prescribed many antibiotics like for me, but none of them worked. Now he says it's a mild cough with no phlegm. The tongue is white, and the mouth has a slightly foul odor. Bowel and bladder functions are normal. What kind of assistance is needed: Yesterday, I bought a cough syrup myself, which is a Miao medicine. I have taken it and it worked well for me. Could you please give it to the child?Doctor's answer:
If the child coughs so badly they can't sleep, an inhibitor might help. Ask the doctor what kind of inhibitor to use. However, we should be aware that sometimes suppressing cough can worsen the condition or shorten the duration of illness.Advice: Use ginger and sugar water to dispel cold, bathe the child's feet until they sweat, and give them plenty of warm water to reduce internal heat. If parents notice the child coughing, they should first check the child's small hands and feet. If they are cold and the tongue is white, use two slices of ginger, half a spoonful of brown sugar, and 3-4 cloves of garlic to boil water for the child to drink.
