A child has a slight cough but has not taken any medicine. Can they receive the meningitis vaccine?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be a cold-induced cough caused by exposure to wind-cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white phlegm, 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.
