Question
Recently, some children have shown signs of fatigue and poor physical condition. Is it possible that they are suffering from pediatric cough with deficiency of Qi, Yin, and heat in Lung Qi? What kinds of situations might this symptom include?
Answer
The symptoms of pediatric cough with deficiency of Qi, Yin, and heat in Lung Qi may include both deficiency of Qi and Yin in the lungs and spleen, accompanied by thirst and cough. Treatment should clearly identify the pathological mechanism, adjusting through traditional Chinese medicine to regulate Qi and Yin, gradually alleviating the symptoms. If the cough is accompanied by a lot of phlegm, it should be considered that spleen deficiency leads to the generation of damp phlegm internally. It is recommended to seek a face-to-face consultation with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and tailor the treatment plan according to individual circumstances. In addition, while undergoing professional treatment, pediatric cough patients can use folk remedies as assist treatment, and they should also pay attention to their daily diet, avoiding overeating and binge eating.
