Patient's question:
You have my baby at home, she is three years old and has been coughing very badly recently. She is currently getting IV fluids, but she is still coughing a lot. Can you boil pear water for her? The cough has been going on for about three days, and she is already getting IV fluids at the hospital, but the child is very resistant to the IV. I wonder if there are any good methods to reduce the child's cough. What kind of help do you need: I hope there are some dietary methods to make the child less suffering.Doctor's answer:
Pears cooked with water can be eaten, and pear soup with Fritillaria cirrhosa can also be eaten, but the effect is often unsatisfactory. Based on my experience, it's best to find a highly skilled TCM practitioner to treat and care for your child with traditional Chinese medicine decoctions. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is the most effective, as it has significant advantages. TCM is highly effective against both bacteria and viruses (while Western medicine is effective against bacterial infections but not very effective against viral infections), and it does not have the issue of drug resistance, so the effect is much better. From my clinical experience, it is significantly better than oral Western medicine and even better than intravenous Western medicine treatment.
