Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 5 years old. Since the day before yesterday, she has been constantly coughing dryly. Even after taking cough medicine, it hasn't helped. The dry cough is particularly severe in the morning and evening.What kind of help is desired: Can you recommend a medication that works without injections or intravenous fluids? Can you give some advice? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
A 5-year-old child frequently experiences nausea, and in addition to checking whether the lungs and throat are normal, it may also be a symptom caused by spleen deficiency. Spleen deficiency generally leads to symptoms such as nausea, dry vomiting, poor appetite, poor spleen and stomach function, and acne. For your child's condition, I recommend taking him to the hospital for a health check-up first, getting a chest X-ray to rule out lung diseases such as tuberculosis, and letting the doctor examine the throat for any abnormalities.
