Patient's question:
Patient Age: Almost four years oldDetailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: My daughter is almost four years old. She has been quite healthy since she was a baby until she turned three, even rarely catching colds. However, since her grandmother caught a cold in June of this year, which led to chronic bronchitis and coughing, my daughter also started coughing. The last time, she took Azithromycin at the hospital, and the effect was very noticeable—the coughing stopped within three days. After that, in September when she started school, she has been constantly feverish with coughing. It hasn’t stopped for a month. This time, she first had severe nasal congestion at night, making it difficult to sleep. After about four or five days of congestion, she started coughing with a runny nose.

Doctor's answer:
I suggest you look into Traditional Chinese Medicine. My son had a cough every month for the first few months of this year, and each time he had to be given intravenous drips to get better.

In the recent months, he had 2 episodes where he had a slight cough or runny nose, and I took him to see a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. After taking a few herbal medications, he recovered without it developing further. However, it’s important to find a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner with experience.
