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-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what medicine is suitable for a baby with a cough?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cough, which is caused by exposure to wind-cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale red tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, fever, and even shortness of breath. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that reduce qi and resolve phlegm. For your condition, you can first use alcohol rub to lower the fever, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons for fever, with the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication first.
