Patient's question:
Health consultation description: Coughing since July 15th, received intravenous fluids for seven days, but still not fully recovered. How long does it take for such illnesses to fully recover?Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition falls under the category of cough in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is primarily caused by symptoms triggered by accidental exposure to wind and cold in daily life. Currently, the condition has not fully recovered, and medication needs to be continued. It may take 5-7 days to recover. Pay attention to keeping warm, and avoiding cold and raw foods is beneficial for recovery. Additionally, oral medications to moisten the lungs and resolve phlegm should be taken. Encourage your child to drink more water, enhance their immune system, and monitor their temperature. After completing the medication, it is necessary to revisit the hospital for a follow-up check-up.
