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. Can the baby receive the DTP vaccine and eat sugar pills for persistent coughing?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cold cough, which is a cough caused by exposure to wind-cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale red 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 can also take Cefixime or Cefuroxime granules for treatment. If necessary, intramuscular injection of antibiotics can be chosen. For cough or phlegm, you can take Xia'er Ma Gan granules and Mucosolvan.
