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-up didn't help. Can a 6-month-old child drink garlic water to treat a 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 sputum, 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 reduce qi and resolve phlegm.Hello, for such conditions, you can take measures like applying cold compresses to your forehead. If your temperature exceeds 38.5°C, you can use ibuprofen suspension for medication to lower the fever. Additionally, drink plenty of warm water.
