Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if the baby has a cough for two weeks?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 pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang combined with herbs that reduce qi and resolve phlegm.Hello, for a child with fever, the first choice is physical cooling. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can frequently use warm water bathing. Wipe the limbs and back with a warm towel until the skin turns slightly red (avoid the chest, abdomen, and neck areas as they are sensitive and prone to shivering). Do this every 20 minutes to effectively lower the temperature.
