Patient's question:
These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How should I handle a child's persistent cough?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be a cold-induced cough caused by exposure to wind and cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white phlegm, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, slight fever, and in severe cases, shortness of breath. It can be treated with San Yao Tang combined with herbs that regulate qi and resolve phlegm.Hello, your baby's cough with phlegm is likely a symptom of bronchitis caused by a cold. You can use children's cough syrup, children's lung heat cough and asthma oral liquid, along with antibiotics like azithromycin or amoxicillin for treatment.
During the day, you can give your baby some rock sugar pear juice or pear soup with Fritillaria cirrhosa for relief from coughing and phlegm. It's important to drink plenty of water, stay warm, and avoid catching a cold.
