What medicine should a baby with a cold and cough take?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Regarding a baby with a cold and cough, what kind of medicine should they take?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be a wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind and cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, slight fever, and in severe cases, shortness of breath. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that reduce qi and resolve phlegm. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children.
