Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. What should I do if the child keeps catching colds and coughing due to getting cold?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be a cold-induced cough caused by exposure to wind and 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 even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang combined with herbs that regulate qi and resolve phlegm. Oral medications like Xiao'er Yan Bian Granules can also be used for treatment. If necessary, seek diagnosis and treatment in a pediatric department of a formal hospital, including blood tests and ultrasound monitoring. Based on the test results, appropriate treatment measures should be formulated. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery.
