Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Regarding the child, who has been coughing persistently, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind-cold. This syndrome 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 plus herbs that lower Qi and resolve phlegm.Hello, fever in children is a common phenomenon, usually caused by colds. Since children's thermoregulatory centers are not yet fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38°C, and fever-reducing medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods should be prioritized, such as alcohol rubs and warm water washing on the face and forehead. If the temperature exceeds 38°C, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can be taken.
