Patient's question:
The child will be two months old in three days. She has a cough with phlegm. Today, the doctor at the hospital recommended hospitalization for treatment, but I didn't agree. They prescribed cough medicine and a nebulizer for two days. I would like to ask if the child can take vitamin AD while taking cough medicine?Doctor's answer:
The cough medicine is primarily used to strengthen the spleen and lungs, alleviate cough and wheezing, and treat insufficient lung and spleen. Most children's coughs are caused by phlegm and dampness accumulating internally, with symptoms including thick, yellow phlegm, difficult coughing, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, easy sweating, poor appetite, general fatigue, red tongue with thick coating. It can be taken with warm water. It is important to note that there should be at least a 30-minute interval between taking the medicine and feeding, to avoid interfering with its efficacy. During illness, digestive vitamins such as AD can be temporarily suspended, and focus can be returned to digestion after recovery.
