Question
What are the most effective traditional Chinese medicine treatments for a child’s cough?
Answer
It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for an X-ray to check for conditions such as bronchitis or pneumonia. You can prepare some sugar and pear syrup for your child to drink, but the effect may not be significant. It is suggested to give your baby symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication or apply a pulmonary-cooling plaster. Encourage your child to drink plenty of plain water and consume more vegetables and fruits, while reducing the intake of irritating foods and avoiding snacks. If the situation is severe, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for intravenous treatment.
