Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. How should I treat my child's cough with phlegm?Doctor's answer:
I suggest you buy a few snow pear, peel and core one pear every morning, stuff rock sugar into the core, and stew it into snow pear water. Give it to the child in the morning and evening. This way, it won't harm the child while also helping to expel phlegm and relieve cough. Also, remember to persist for three days. Your condition might be wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind-cold. This pattern is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white phlegm, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that lower Qi and expel phlegm.
