Patient's question:
My son just started kindergarten this year. Recently, there have been many colds in his class, and I'm very worried he'll catch one. Despite taking all precautions, he still got a cold at the start of school. He doesn't have a runny nose and it doesn't affect his dinner, but he coughs a lot. I'd like to ask, what should I do about my child's cough?Doctor's answer:
If the child has a cough, it is recommended to give them oral medications such as those that clear the lungs and cool the blood, or anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. The child can also take Nianjia'an Fritillaria and Loquat Paste or Feili Ke. In daily life, it is essential to pay close attention to the child's warmth and avoid catching a cold. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume more light and nutritious vegetables. The above suggestions can be used as a reference.
