Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Is it good for a child with a cough to drink soup?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be a cold-induced cough caused by exposure to wind-cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white phlegm, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, slight fever, and in severe cases, shortness of breath. It can be treated with San Yao Tang combined with herbs that regulate qi and resolve phlegm. It is recommended to administer some anti-inflammatory medication and take Kefir Oral Liquid for treatment. Use of Oxytocin or Furmax solution should be used with caution. Adequate hydration and warmth should be maintained. If necessary, seek a pediatrician for a thorough examination and diagnosis.
