Question
I’ve been feeling unwell recently and, after finding out I’m sick, I want to learn about the treatment methods for children’s cough.
Answer
Experiencing a light cough at night without phlegm, and with normal chest and lung examinations, it is likely that there is inflammation in the throat but it has not yet developed into the trachea or lungs. For this condition, treatment is mainly symptomatic. It is recommended to take oral anti-inflammatory drugs along with Platycodon granules, and to ingest lung-cleansing syrup before bedtime. In addition to conventional treatment, children with cough can also try some folk remedies as complementary treatments. Moreover, in daily life, it is important to pay attention to diet and avoid overeating or eating excessively.
