Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me what are the benefits of bird's nest, and how should children with frequent coughs eat it?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be a wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind and 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 in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that reduce Qi and resolve phlegm.If the baby has poor appetite and low immunity, it may be due to zinc deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia.
Recommendation: The baby's condition requires a blood test and trace element examination before treatment.
