Patient's question:
Medical Description: Starting from late June, she has had a slight dry cough. Every morning when she wakes up, she coughs a few times, but it's not too severe. She has no symptoms during the day, and also has no symptoms while sleeping at night.History of Treatment and Effect: On June 23, she was examined at MedGard and found to have Mycoplasma pneumoniae positivity. Later, she received a 5-day drip of Azithromycin, followed by a 3-day break and another 5-day drip. After returning home, she took another 5-day course of Azithromycin, with a 3-day break, followed by another 5-day course. The doctor said she was better, but even after the drips, she still coughs a little every morning, though not too severely. Now, I basically give her medicine every day—syrup, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cold medicine.
Help Needed: My daughter is 5 years old now, and I don't know what to do.
Doctor's answer:
1、Turmeric MilkTurmeric is known to treat viral infections, such as cold and cough symptoms in children. You can mix turmeric powder into a cup of hot milk and give it to your child to drink every night. It not only provides immediate relief from throat pain and runny nose but also supplies your child with rich calcium ions.
2、Vinegar-Fried Eggs
Vinegar-fried eggs are highly effective in treating various types of coughs. Take one egg and beat it in a bowl. Heat half a spoonful of vinegar in a wok over low heat, then add the eggs and stir-fry until cooked. Add a moderate amount of sugar after the eggs are done, and eat them once they cool. Consume one egg in the morning and one in the evening. Generally, two doses can alleviate coughing, and severe cases may be cured within three days.
3、Black Bean Water
Black beans have a miraculous effect in treating coughs. For coughs caused by colds, simply add black beans to a sufficient amount of water and steam them in an electric cooker. Drink the liquid to relieve coughing.
