Question
The child frequently coughs at night, lasting about an hour, with white thick phlegm. How should it be handled?
Answer
Such conditions in children are often due to catching a cold or respiratory infection, and in severe cases, it’s not ruled out that there may be lung heat. Treatment with Azithromycin granules or cough syrup can be effective. If combined with external medications like Yiqi Patch and Yitie Ning, the effect may be even better. It’s important to ensure the child drinks plenty of water and to be cautious about preventing colds to avoid catching a cold.
