Patient's question:
After going to bed and about half an hour before sleep, I cough about ten times, and at other times I don't cough for over a month. The cough has been persistent, with periods of improvement and worsening. Here is the past treatment and its effectiveness: When the cough first started, Western medicine such as Amoxicillin was used, and I received injections and IV drips. These treatments only suppressed the cough slightly, reducing it but not completely curing it. Recently, I have started switching to traditional Chinese medicine. I am currently taking Cough and Asthma twice a day, half a dose each time, and also boiling lily bulbs and pears to drink once or twice a day. Tonight, after going to bed, I coughed a few times, and then coughed about ten more times before sleep.What kind of assistance would you like: Hello, how should I take the traditional Chinese medicine carefully? Also, I heard that drinking astragalus root tea can lower immunity. How should it be applied to a child over 3 years old? What can parents do to lower a child's immunity? I am very grateful!!
Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, to improve the physical fitness of children, the following can be used for children with weak constitutions who frequently have fever: 10 grams of Codonopsis, 10 grams of Chinese Yam, 5 grams of Saposhnikoviae, 3 grams of ginger, and stewed lean meat. For children with weak constitutions who are prone to coughing, the following can be used: 10 grams of Codonopsis, 10 grams of Chinese Yam, 3 grams of ginger, 5 grams of Fritillaria, and stewed lean meat. Alternatively, regularly feeding children with Chinese Yam porridge can also effectively reduce their immunity. Daily care: Proper diet, a balance of coarse and fine foods, attention to warmth and cold prevention, and prevention of fever.
