Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old. She has had a cough for 4 days. The symptoms are severe coughing at night, often complaining of a sore throat. She is energetic during the day, and the cough produces white phlegm. Her tongue is white with a slightly yellow coating. She has a clear runny nose.The help she needs: Chinese medicine combined with dietary therapy.
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described above, considering that the baby is already six years old and has had a cough for four days, with severe coughing at night and persistent throat itching, daytime symptoms are relatively mild. The cough produces white phlegm, and there is clear nasal discharge. It is recommended to give the baby some ginger water, but it is better to administer lung-purifying and blood-cooling medicine.This is the advice for the question "Can ginger water be consumed for wind-cold cough?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
