Question

How can I solve the problem of allergic cough and thick mucus in the throat in children?

Answer

  1. Treat the symptoms and maintain good bowel movement, drink plenty of water. If the stool is dry, you can use Wan Ying Wan; if it is generally dry, you can use Yi Qing Wan.
  2. If there is a fever, antibiotics (such as penicillin, but with a larger gastrointestinal reaction, it is recommended to use Chinese patent medicine Qing Kai Ling Pao Teng Pian, with fewer side effects and better efficacy) and antiviral drugs (such as amantadine, ribavirin, and arbidol) can be used.
  3. Locally, you can rinse the mouth with 1:5000 furazolidone solution or a compound bismuth solution. You can also use dulaphen, hexetidine, peppermint tablets, or iodine tablets for oral administration, or use mucolytic enzymes combined with steroids and eugenol for inhalation.
  4. For symptoms such as severe chills, mild fever, no sweating, and floating pulse, Chinese herbal medicine Ma Huang Tang can be taken internally.
