Patient's question:
For over two months, the baby has a stuffy nose, runny nose, and cough that hasn't improved (taking medicine) and also has diarrhea. Can they still take medicine? The cold has lasted for half a month and hasn't gotten better. I want to know which medicine works well and how to treat and prevent it.Doctor's answer:
This is what traditional Chinese medicine refers to as a cold caused by the invasion of wind-cold pathogens. Symptoms such as a sore throat, phlegm that cannot be coughed up, and a stuffy nose are all signs of a cold. Treatment should focus on dispelling wind and relieving the exterior. Over-the-counter herbal medicines are not recommended. It is advised to consult a local pharmacy for traditional Chinese medicine. Currently, it is recommended to follow a light diet and drink more water, which may help. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby has a stuffy nose, runny nose, cough, and diarrhea that hasn’t improved for over two months?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
