Patient's question:
The child has already started with high fever and not eating. I suspected it was due to food, so I gave them an appetite-stimulating medicine. Later, it improved, and they could eat again, but they started coughing. Especially at night when they take naps, the coughing is severe. At its worst, it was coughing all night. It's heart-wrenching to hear.What kind of assistance is needed: What should I do if the child's cough doesn't improve?
Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the lungs are weak. For those with lung deficiency cough, the principle of "treating the organ with its own kind" can be applied. You can buy pig lungs or cow lungs, clean and chop them, then cook them until tender. During the cooking process, you can add one of these ingredients—such as daikon radish, white radish, or—to achieve a synergistic effect. You can also add an ample amount of black beans to stew with them. Once cooked, you can add a little oil and salt for seasoning, but you must absolutely avoid adding spicy ingredients like raw garlic, onions, chili peppers, pepper, or vinegar!For lung deficiency, you can also stew chicken and eat both the meat and the soup. Use one two-pound carp, stew it until tender, and add a little seasoning before eating. Fresh peanuts are often boiled until soft and eaten regularly.
