How to deal with a baby's persistent cough in winter?

Patient's question:

When winter comes, the coughing becomes much more severe, and the medication does not show significant effects. The coughing occurs during the day but not at night. It triggers coughing when exposed to cold or when encountering any smells. There is clear nasal discharge, and the person may cough up white or clear phlegm. The amount of phlegm increases outdoors, but there is no high fever.
Previous treatment and outcomes: Azithromycin dispersible tablets...

Doctor's answer:

Obvious seasonality, cold in winter, the lungs are most easily affected, and various odors are also the first to affect the lungs. Coughing is often due to lung deficiency. I have a few external treatment formulas that I hope will be valuable to you.
1. Foot sole therapy formula 1: Slice garlic and apply it to the foot sole. Apply at night and remove in the daytime, alternating for 5–7 days. For various types of cough.
Formula 2: Ning Sou Patch Ointment: Mustard seeds, apricot kernels, pinellia ternata, etc. 30% dimethyl sulfoxide.
