Patient's question:
My baby has a cold and keeps coughing. I took her to the children's hospital downstairs to see a doctor. The doctor recommended using traditional Chinese medicine patches for her, saying that the patches are taken internally and there's no need to worry about the baby refusing to take medicine or having side effects. Is it good for the baby to use traditional Chinese medicine patches for cold and cough?Doctor's answer:
When a baby has a cold and cough, many traditional Chinese medicine patches are used for external application, and the effect is relatively good. They can play an auxiliary therapeutic role. However, in this case, it is best to combine them with oral medications for treatment to achieve better efficacy. If there is a bacterial infection, simply using these patches flexibly cannot achieve anti-inflammatory effects. The above can be used as a reference.
