Patient's question:
Our child is already one and a half years old, but recently the weather has been unpredictable. If he is a bit careless, he catches a cold. However, the child is still young, and we dare not give him medicine randomly. Doctor, what should we do if a one and a half-year-old baby has a cold and coughs?Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old and two-month-old child develops a cough due to a wind-cold cold caused by catching a cold. The child can be treated with wind-cold cold medicine and blood-cooling medicine. If the child is too young and oral medication is not desired, pediatric acupuncture can be used to dispel wind and cold, reduce internal heat, clear the lungs, and cool the blood for conditioning. This can effectively relieve the child's cough caused by the wind-cold cold due to catching a cold.
