Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Regarding my child's occasional cough, what should I do?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 sputum, 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 take cough-relieving medication such as Qing Zhu Li Kou Fu Liquid along with antibiotics like Azithromycin. If the symptoms are severe and require intravenous treatment, drink plenty of water and the condition will gradually improve. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
