Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old. She has had a cough for 4 days, with symptoms of severe coughing at night and often complaining of a sore throat. She is energetic during the day, and her cough produces white phlegm. Her tongue is white with a slightly yellowish coating. She also has clear nasal discharge.The help she needs: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and dietary therapy together for treatment.
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described above, considering that the baby is already six years old and has had a cough for four days, with severe coughing at night and frequent throat itching, daytime coughing is still manageable. The cough produces white phlegm, and there is clear nasal discharge. It is recommended to give the baby some ginger water, but it is better to feed them with lung-purifying and blood-cooling medicine.This is the advice for the question "Can ginger water be consumed for wind-cold cough?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
