Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I noticed phlegm in my throat and was constantly wheezing. Today, I have a slight cough, but otherwise everything is normal. Recently, I've had an allergic reaction on my face, with many small red or translucent bumps, making my face look flushed. The people at the clinic said it's an allergy caused by airborne dander. I don't quite understand and would like to get some help: Is the cough caused by the phlegm? What should I do? How should I treat the facial allergy?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that your child's condition is likely caused by a bacterial infection leading to tracheitis, which has resulted in coughing and phlegm. Additionally, there is a separate issue of facial skin allergies. Your child's current situation requires active treatment for the tracheitis. I recommend using medications such as Shifusu and Xia'er Qingfei Tang to treat it, while also avoiding cold exposure and drinking plenty of water, which can help it heal on its own. Additionally, applying Wifu cream to the face can help treat the allergy, which will be very effective.
