Patient's question:
A child has a cough with phlegm, severe coughing at night, and severe coughing after waking up from a nap in the afternoon. There is also a runny nose. The hospital treatment is not effective. Please ask: What should be done if a child has recovered from pneumonia but has poor digestion?Doctor's answer:
In this season, children's coughs and colds are often caused by catching a cold. Xizi Feiyang Granules are used for coughs or excessive, thick, yellow phlegm due to insufficient spleen and lung function and internal accumulation of phlegm and dampness. If the effect is not good after using it, it suggests the medication is not suitable for the child's condition. The child's nose is still stuffy, which may be due to lingering coldness in the body or recurrent catching of colds. You can use Lactobacillus, Lactase, and Pepsin Oral Solution to enhance absorption. Use Dapipan and Ai Chang to combat colds. If there is phlegm, focus on using Ambroxol Oral Solution for cooling treatment. It is essential to pay attention to taking preventive measures against colds, especially protecting the lower limbs. When changing diapers, be quick and do it near a heater to prevent the child from getting colder and worsening the condition.
