Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please advise on how to treat recurring cough in babies?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be a cold-induced 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, fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang combined with herbs that reduce Qi and resolve phlegm. There are many factors that can affect a child's respiratory system. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
