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 I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work.By the way, my child has a cough with white phlegm, and it's worse at night and in the morning. How should I treat it?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child might have respiratory inflammation. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there's bronchiolitis or pneumonia. If there is, they will need to be given intravenous fluids. If not, it's okay. You can take oral mucus-thinning medicine like Snake Gland and Fritillaria Fluid and anti-inflammatory drugs like Azithromycin. You can also boil some white pear water to drink.Hello, you can use the hot drink cough relief method. Drinking warm beverages can make your baby's mucus thinner, relieve the tension in the respiratory tract lining, and promote mucus expulsion. It's best for your baby to drink warm water, warm milk, or rice porridge. You can also give them fresh juice, but choose less irritating options like apple juice and pear juice. Avoid citrus juices like orange juice or grapefruit juice.
