What is the reason for a child's coughing lightly during the day but coughing severely at night?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

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