Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. I'm wondering if Puliheli Guan (a cough syrup) would be effective for infant coughs.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be a cold-induced cough caused by exposure to wind-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 regulate qi and resolve phlegm. Hello, in this case, the child can take some antiviral medications such as Antiviral Oral Liquid and Ribavirin Granules. Pay attention to body weight and dosage, and the symptoms will improve.
