Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is almost 18 years old and recently caught a cold. They keep coughing, and it's especially bad at 11 PM and 3 AM. They've taken Azithromycin for three days and had moxibustion for four days. After stopping the medicine, they've been taking Ambroxol and Ketotifen fumarate, but the cough still persists. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In your situation, I have looked it over carefully, and it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the exact cause. It would be worth checking for any signs of high airway reactivity. If the local hospital's treatment capabilities are limited, you could consider going to a tertiary hospital for a consultation. I would like to recommend two traditional Chinese medicine preparations for you to try. You can give them a go. Xiao Chai Hu Granules. If you have any further concerns, feel free to ask me.
