How should medicine be used for children with long-lasting cough?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The condition you described, prolonged cough due to deficiency leading to insufficient lung yin, is recommended to be treated by nourishing yin and moistening the lungs to stop coughing. You can take modified Mai Men Dong Tang (Ophiopogon Root Decoction). Your diet should be light, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
