Question
My child has been very unruly lately, crying and fussing, and also experiencing symptoms of a cold with cough and phlegm. However, when taken to the hospital for examination, the condition did not improve. What methods can be used to alleviate this situation?
Answer
This situation may be due to wind-cold type cough caused by a cold, and it can be treated by trying Sanao Decoction along with medicine to reduce gas and resolve phlegm. Additionally, there are many causes for respiratory system issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric respiratory system problems, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their children to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
