Patient's question:
My precious soft and cute daughter is two years old this year. Very soft and cute. Recently, I have been quite busy and haven't taken good care of her, so my dear one caught a cold. It's my fault that my baby got a cold, with coughing, runny nose, and hiccups. What should I do about the baby's cold, cough, runny nose, and hiccups?Doctor's answer:
If the child experiences a recurrence of a runny nose and hiccups, it is recommended to give them Yan Tong Qiao Granules orally first, and ensure they drink plenty of water daily. This is because sometimes the child's nasal allergies can easily lead to persistent hiccups. If the child also has a cough, additional herbs that clear the lungs and cool the blood can be added. If the child shows relief after taking these, there is no need to use other medications at home. If the runny nose is severe, some herbs that clear heat and detoxify can also be taken. In terms of diet, it is best to avoid spicy and irritating foods.
