Is it effective for children to cough with rock sugar stewed pears?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it might be a wind-cold cold with coughing, which is caused by exposure to wind-cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin and white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale red 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 reduce qi and resolve phlegm.
