Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently they have been scratching their ears for some unknown reason. Could you please tell me if a four-month-old baby with cough and nasal congestion can eat loquat leaves?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind and 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, slight fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that lower Qi and resolve phlegm. Your condition may be caused by internal heat, which indicates an issue with the regulation of Qi and blood in the internal organs. It is not a serious illness. It is recommended to use Qing Wei San with modifications for treatment.
