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. Could you please tell me what the baby can take for a cough with some shortness of breath?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Cough is an inflammation of the respiratory tract caused by infections, usually resulting from viral or bacterial transmission. It is recommended to take cough-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications, such as Jizhi Tang, Cough and Phlegm Granules, or Chuangbei Cough Syrup. Additionally, you can try cooking pear water or ginger tea for dietary relief. It is advised to visit a hospital for examination and follow medical advice when taking medication.Your condition may be caused by a viral infection, for which there is no specific treatment. The main approach is supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used, as herbal remedies may help alleviate some symptoms of viral diseases and shorten the duration of the illness.
