Question
How do I deal with my baby’s slight cough?
Answer
Lately, my child has been very unruly, crying and fussing all the time, and going to the hospital hasn’t helped either. How should I deal with my baby’s slight cough? Your situation might be due to wind-cold flu cough, caused by catching a cold from wind and cold. The main symptoms include frequent coughing, thin and white sputum, clear nose discharge, pale or slightly red tongue with thin coating, heavy cough sound, headache, fever, and even rapid breathing. Treatment can include Sanao Decoction along with medication to reduce gas and resolve phlegm. There are many reasons for respiratory system issues in children. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric respiratory system problems, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, reduce gastrointestinal pressure, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to let their children develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
