Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Is it okay to drink ginger ale for severe cough?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind-cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that reduce qi and resolve phlegm. You belong to the category of chronic infection and physical weakness, so you need to seek treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for syndrome differentiation and herbal regulation, increase nutrition and supplement vitamins and trace elements, maintain a relaxed mood, and pay attention to rest. You can take Yu Ping Feng San and Xiao Qing Long capsules.
