Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I've been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it's affecting my work. At night, I can't sleep, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. Could you please tell me what could be the reason for coughing when the baby wakes up or gets up?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be a wind-cold cold with coughing, caused by exposure to wind and cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white phlegm, clear nasal discharge, pale red tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, slight fever, and in severe cases, shortness of breath. It can be treated with Saniao Decoction plus medications that reduce Qi and resolve phlegm. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to conditions like spina bifida. For parents, it's important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups for the child should be conducted, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
