Patient's question:
Cough-induced fever with runny nose. Coughing is not severe during the day but becomes intense at night.Past treatment and effectiveness: Took fever-reducing medication.
Desired help: Just want to ask if a 1-year-old child can take Niuhuang Jiedu Pian (Bezoar Powder)?
Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is a case of upper respiratory infection. If the stool is not dry, there is generally no need for Niuhuang Jiedu Pian. Taking antiviral medications and clearing the lungs and cooling the blood can be effective. It is recommended that you do not take Niuhuang Jiedu Pian. If you want to clear heat, you can take Qingkailing. A little Zaolin Granules and Qingfeiliangxue Granules will suffice. Then, drink more hot water appropriately and keep the room well-ventilated.
