Patient's question:
I have been coughing since catching a cold, with it being particularly severe in the morning, accompanied by white thick phlegm! The cough is lighter during the day, and it has been going on for 20 days! During this period, I have taken Lanling oral liquid, Tongxuan Lifuluo tablets, Qingfei Liexue granules, Juhong Qingfei capsules, and Jizhi Tangjiang! But there has been no significant effect. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and a urine test, and they said it was caused by a pathogen infection! I received intravenous fluids for several days, but the effect was still not obvious! Today, I bought Gancao tablets to take, and now I feel that it is somewhat effective, as the cough is less painful. However, I still feel a persistent tickle in my throat, making me want to cough. How valuable are Gancao tablets!Doctor's answer:
For the issue you mentioned, if the child is experiencing low-grade fever symptoms again, it should be considered as possibly caused by a viral cold. It is recommended that you decide to give the child targeted anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications for better treatment. It is also appropriate to encourage the child to drink more water, and if necessary, use traditional Chinese medicine oral liquids for supplementary treatment, such as Pu Dilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid or Lan Qin Oral Liquid, among other similar medications.
