Question
My baby has a cold and is constantly coughing. I took her to the children’s hospital downstairs, and the doctor recommended using Chinese medicine plasters, saying that they are taken internally, so there’s no need to worry about the baby not drinking the medicine or getting upset. Plus, they have no side effects. Is it good to use Chinese medicine plasters for my baby’s cold and cough?
Answer
In cases of baby cold and cough, using various Chinese medicine plasters externally can be quite effective, serving as an auxiliary treatment. However, it’s best to combine them with oral medications for a more comprehensive treatment approach. Simply using these plasters alone may not be sufficient to achieve anti-inflammatory effects if there is a bacterial infection present.
