What should a 6-year-old child eat when they have a cough?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it might be a wind-cold cough, which is caused by exposure to wind-cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that lower Qi and resolve phlegm.
