Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How should I treat a three-month-old baby's cough and stuffy nose?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 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 plus herbs that regulate qi and resolve phlegm. Since you have kidney yang deficiency, I recommend taking the Chinese herbal medicine Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan for regulation. Maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and greasy foods, alcohol, and smoking. Provide meticulous care and avoid harmful stimuli.
