Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 5 years old. Since the day before yesterday, she has been constantly coughing dryly. Even after taking cough medicine, it hasn't helped. The dry cough is particularly severe in the morning and evening.What kind of help is desired: Without injections or intravenous fluids, can you tell me what medicine can help? Can you give me some advice? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
A 5-year-old child frequently experiences nausea, and in addition to checking if the lungs and throat appear normal, it may also be a symptom of spleen deficiency, as spleen deficiency generally leads to symptoms such as nausea, dry vomiting, poor appetite, poor stomach and spleen function, and acne. For your child's condition, I recommend taking him to the hospital for a health check-up first, getting a chest X-ray to rule out lung diseases such as tuberculosis, and letting the doctor examine the throat for any abnormalities.
