Question

The child is a 5-year-old boy who previously had a fever and cough. Although he is almost recovered now, he still has phlegm in his throat and sometimes makes a whistling sound. What should I do? He is currently taking Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid and Fresh Bamboo Decoction. I would like to ask experts if this medication is appropriate? Are there any better herbal medicine suggestions?

Answer

Based on the description, your child seems to have developed a throat inflammation after a respiratory infection, characterized by throat discomfort and excessive phlegm. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Maintain a proper diet and drink plenty of water.
  2. Consider taking traditional Chinese medicine such as Pudelain Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid.
  3. Engage in moderate exercise to strengthen the immune system, which can help ensure a complete recovery from the illness.
  4. Keep the indoor temperature comfortable and avoid excessively dry conditions. Wishing your child a healthy growth!
