How to regulate a child's recurring cold and cough at 12 months?

Patient's question:

The child is 12 months old and weighs 14 pounds. They have frequent colds, coughs, and runny noses, which is quite troublesome. The baby has been taking calcium for a year and has been on Taizishen Granules for a month, but still has hard stools every 5 days. This is the result of a thorough check-up recently. What should we do?

Doctor's answer:

This friend, based on what you mentioned, the child suffers from spleen and lung qi deficiency, weak astringent function, and increased susceptibility to recurrent colds, coughs, etc. Moreover, after a cold, the condition tends to worsen and linger. I wonder if it is due to repeated intravenous infusions or a weak congenital constitution.
According to my clinical experience, using Xiao Chai Hu Granules for conditioning can yield excellent results. I suggest you try it for your child and pay attention to their diet.
