Patient's question:
6-year-old and 8 months, coughing for the third day. It sounds like there's a lot of phlegm, but she can't cough it up either. Should we go to the hospital? Currently taking Sunflower Brand Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid and Yin Huang Granules.Doctor's answer:
Your baby has a cough with phlegm, which is likely caused by recent exposure to cold, leading to wind-cold binding the lungs and phlegm-heat stagnating in the lungs. It is recommended that you buy the Chinese herbal medicine Xiao'er Xuanfei Qingfei Granules to alleviate the symptoms. For babies under one year old, one-third of a bag of medicine can be given each time, three times a day. Recently, you can give your baby more water to drink, pay attention to avoiding cold and rain and keeping warm, and encourage your baby to drink some hot water to accelerate the expulsion of cold pathogens from the body.
