Question
The child often coughs, has a fever, and sometimes there are blisters in their mouth. Hello, if the child has wind-heat affecting the lungs and also has yellow nasal discharge accompanied by cough, what kind of food should be eaten to help?
Answer
This condition is classified as wind-heat affecting the lungs. If traditional Chinese medicine can be taken, consider the following herbs: gypsum 10g, anemarrhena 6g, almonds 6g, Zhebei 6g, licorice 6g. Take these herbs for 3 days, one dose per day, taken twice in warm water. If traditional Chinese medicine cannot be consumed, consider pediatric massage. Use the palm of your hands and thumbs to push from the middle of the eyebrows to the front hairline along the center of the eyebrows from bottom to top, with light pressure. Alternatively, use a lubricant for the massage and push in one direction for 50 times. Then, push from the middle of the forehead inward towards both sides for another 50 times.
