How to Treat Children's Cold and Cough

Patient's question:

What should be done if a child has a cold and cough? What medicine is better to take? The tongue is slightly yellow and has a low fever. Treatment history and effectiveness: Seen a doctor twice. What kind of help is needed: Is it wind-heat or wind-cold? What medicine should be given?

Doctor's answer:

The most common cause of children's cough is inflammation caused by respiratory infections. Treatment such as azithromycin and Jizhi Tang should be used under the guidance of a doctor. If the condition does not improve, it is recommended to have a few chest X-rays and a urine test to rule out the possibility of pneumonia. Drink more water appropriately, and you can cook pear with rock sugar to moisturize and clear the lungs. Open the windows frequently to ventilate the room and keep the air fresh. Add moisture appropriately to prevent the room from becoming too dry. When the weather is good, you can engage in outdoor activities.
