How to treat a child's cough and rapid breathing

Patient's question:

Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work.
How should I treat my child's cough and rapid breathing?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is primarily necessary to consider the condition of lung inflammation and further examinations are required. Additionally, nutritional support therapy should be strengthened. Antimicrobial treatment:
1. Most colds are caused by viruses. If there is no secondary infection, antibiotic treatment is ineffective. Many mothers struggle to differentiate between cold and fever in babies, often being unsure about medication selection. Safe and effective external medications can be used, such as the Bīngbing for fever, Yìqì for cough and cold, and Dīngguì for gastrointestinal cold. Do not administer antibiotics to your child at your own discretion. Misuse of antibiotics only wastes medication and may lead to resistance or allergic reactions. Antibiotics should only be taken under the guidance of a doctor for safety.
  2. Small home remedies for cold and cough:
(1) 15g of coriander roots and 15g of scallion roots, decocted with water and added with a moderate amount of rock sugar to drink as tea.
(2) 20g of cabbage roots, 3 slices of ginger, and 60g of brown sugar are boiled together and consumed warm.
(3) Fresh reed
