Patient's question:
Symptom Description: The baby is 7 months old. A few days ago, the baby had a fever, and after it subsided, there has been persistent coughing without phlegm. Sometimes the baby feels like there is something stuck in the throat, but it cannot be coughed up. Additionally, the baby has been urinating less and the urine is yellow, and the bowel movements are sometimes looser than usual.Medical History and Treatment Effects: The baby was taken to the hospital, where the doctor prescribed amoxicillin. The baby was also seen by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but the cough persists, especially when sleeping.
Help Needed: What other traditional Chinese medicines can the baby take? The baby does not seem to be as interested in eating when taking Western medicine.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, for a child's cough, you can consider taking Xia'er Feining Granules, but it's important to use antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications at the same time. It would be better to combine it with inhalation therapy. Of course, daily habits should also be paid attention to—avoid spicy foods and drink more water to actively prevent "internal heat." Xia'er Cough Syrup can be used to treat cough and phlegm. These two medications are specifically designed for children, with good efficacy and minimal side effects, making them easy for children to tolerate. It is likely that the respiratory infection is caused by internal inflammation. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication, drink more water in the near future, avoid spicy foods, and pay attention to keeping warm. If there is no improvement after a long period, it is advised to go to the hospital for examination.
