Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. How should I handle it if a two-month-old baby has a dry cough?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 (Three Decoctions Decoction) plus medications that lower Qi and resolve phlegm.Eczema is an inflammatory condition of the superficial dermis and epidermis caused by various internal and external factors. It is generally believed to be related to allergies. It can be treated by applying calamine lotion or shaking lotion. Short-term topical application of dexamethasone cream or hydrocortisone ointment may also be used. Traditional Chinese medicine also has a certain effect on eczema, and you can choose to wash with a purple root decoction externally.
Integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment is recommended, as combining internal and external treatments yields excellent results.
