Question
I have been coughing for four months, occasionally during the day, but not at night. I always feel thirsty and want to drink water.
Answer
This condition may be due to wind-cold-induced cold and cough, which is usually accompanied by frequent coughing, thin sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale or slightly red tongue with thin coating, heavy cough sound, headache, and fever. Treatment can include the use of Sanao Decoction along with medicine to reduce gas and resolve phlegm. For pediatric respiratory system issues, it is important to receive active treatment in collaboration with a doctor and to maintain a balanced diet.
