Patient's question:
My child has a sore throat, and she suddenly coughs at night while sleeping. She also coughs during the day and has a runny nose. She has been taking medicine for several days, but it hasn't helped. Is there any solution?First follow-up question: She had a blood test, and her white blood cell count was 1.1 higher. Her cough isn't very frequent, but she still coughs two or three times at night. Her throat is slightly red, and her trachea is fine. She has already taken medicine for two months due to a runny nose and cough. I'm worried that taking too much medicine will make her body worse. Are there any home remedies or medicinal soups?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: You can take (1) Children's Cold Relief Granules (2) Mulberry and Orange Peel Cold Relief Tablets (3) Isatis Root Granules (4) Liu Shen Wan (5) Forsythia and Peony Decoction Tablets (6) Vitamin C2. Here are two homemade cough remedies for reference:
(1) Pour boiling water into a teacup filled with green tea. Let the baby breathe through the mouth and nose towards the cup opening to inhale the steam, which helps moisten the throat, relieve cough, and expel phlegm.
(2) Mix chicken bile with rock sugar and steam it for consumption. Take one chicken bile daily, divided into 2-3 doses, and continue for 3-5 days.
