Patient's question:
These days, 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, not feeling well. If it gets serious, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. What should I pay attention to in terms of diet for a coughing child?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cold cough, which is a cough caused by exposure to wind-cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin and white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale red 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 resolve phlegm. Based on your symptoms, which are primarily indicative of a viral cold, antiviral treatment may be appropriate. You can take Xiao Er Gan Huang Na Min Granules and Ribavirin. Drink plenty of water and maintain a light diet.
