Patient's question:
My child is 7 years old, a boy. Starting from the 1st, he had a slight cough and some clear nasal discharge. At night, he started taking Dou + Chuanbei Granules and Fen Huang Namin. Up to now, he still has a slight cough, and it's a bit more at night. Can the medicine be changed if the cough doesn't improve?Doctor's answer:
If the cough is caused by a cold or if it doesn't improve after prolonged treatment, you might consider changing medication. However, it is recommended to seek medical advice and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, coughing can last for about a week. It's better not to be too anxious about it. Daily, make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Usually, there's no major issue.
