Patient's question:
My child has already started first grade. The child frequently experiences symptoms of cold and cough. It often takes many days for the symptoms to improve, and the coughing gets so intense that the child's face turns red. I feel so heartbroken watching them. I don't know what to do. Could you please advise on how to treat frequent cold and cough?Doctor's answer:
The child often has colds and coughs. In this case, it is necessary to carefully check for chronic tonsillitis, chronic rhinitis, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce immunity, which is the main reason for preventing colds. You can get vaccinated with the flu vaccine before the cold season. Also, you need to exercise more, eat more vegetables, and take Chinese patent medicines that reduce immunity, such as Yu Ping Feng Granules or Zhen Qi Fu Zheng Granules orally.
