Patient's question:
The baby is three and a half months old. They have had a slight cough for a while, occasionally have clear nasal discharge, and have nasal mucus. Earlier photos showed interference in the lungs, which was diagnosed as pneumonia. After staying in the hospital for a week, they returned home but didn't get better. Now the photos show glass shadows, and it's still pneumonia. It's said it's not very serious, but they still recommend hospitalization. They have booked a bed and will start with and medication. They are completely unsure what to do next and are seeking advice.Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition exhibits symptoms of a cold in traditional Chinese medicine. TCM believes that the primary cause is due to carelessness in diet and daily routines, leading to exposure to wind-cold. It is important to prevent cold exposure and avoid drafts. Currently, you can take Wind-Clearing and Lung-Purifying Granules for oral administration, which help dispel wind-cold, clear the lungs, and expel phlegm. Additionally, you can take Children's Lung-Clearing Syrup for oral administration. The above suggestions are for the question "Baby has been slightly coughing for three and a half months." I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
