Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please explain what's going on with the dry cough without other symptoms?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be a cold-induced cough caused by exposure to wind and cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang combined with herbs that reduce qi and resolve phlegm. There are many triggers for respiratory issues in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system problem, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and ensure a balanced diet.
