Patient's question:
Child's appetite has increased, naps during the day are more than usual, nighttime sleep is normal, only when taking cough and anti-inflammatory medication does diarrhea occur, the stool is yellow, light cough with a little phlegm, eyes are a bit red when coughing, first runny nose then cough at night due to catching a cold and blowing cool wind, previous treatment history and...Doctor's answer:
A self-protection mechanism, which is beneficial to the human body, cough is a normal physiological defense reflex that helps clean the respiratory tract and keeps it clear. Just like disposing of trash: the cilia in the respiratory tract continuously remove dust, foreign bodies, and microorganisms from the respiratory tract to the throat. Then, coughing is needed to expel these internal "garbage," which is the positive significance of coughing. First, let's speculate on the difference between cough with phlegm and cough without phlegm. The former should increase fluid intake before considering the use of cooling blood medicine. It is recommended that the baby drink some expectorant sugar syrup, which is quite effective. Home remedy: Boil celery leaves in water and drink 1-2 bowls before taking a nap to see if it helps.
