Patient's question:
The children at home are still very young, and their immunity is not particularly strong. During the peak season or period of colds, they always catch colds. In recent days, they have already started to have colds and coughs. After taking many medications and getting many injections, there has been no significant improvement. How should I treat a 5-year-old child with colds and coughs?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described: A five-year-old child with a cold often develops cough in the later stages due to excessive lung heat. If the cough is caused by excessive lung heat, using anti-inflammatory drugs alone for treatment may not be very effective. It is recommended to give the child medications that clear the lungs and cool the blood while also combining pediatric acupuncture to clear lung heat and cool the blood for regulation. This will help the child recover more effectively from the cold and cough.
