Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. How can I deal with the child's constant cough?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you mentioned, the main cause is insufficient lung yin leading to dry cough. Treatment should focus on nourishing yin, moistening the lungs, and stopping cough. You can take modified Sha Shen Mai Dong Tang (Sandalwood and Ophiopogon Decoction). Your diet should be light, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.There are many causes that can lead to respiratory problems in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, 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.
