What is the reason for a child's slightly bloated stomach and thick tongue coating?

Patient's question:

Can Xiao Er Xiao Ji Qing Fei Kou Fu Ye and She Dan Chuan Bei Ye be taken together? My child has a cough and fever, and Mei Lin has brought the temperature down to 38 degrees but it won't go down. I suspect it's due to indigestion, causing some bloating in the stomach and a thick tongue coating.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, the baby may have a cold, or it could be a sign of indigestion or food stagnation. These two medications can be taken orally at the same time, but it is recommended to go to the hospital for blood tests such as complete blood count, mycoplasma, and CRP to determine the inflammation and infection. If necessary, add anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications based on the results for a combined treatment.
Make sure the baby drinks plenty of water and eats light, easily digestible foods. It is essential to maintain regular bowel movements. You can also cook some white radish water, which helps with digestion and has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, cooling the lungs, and cooling the blood.
