Treatment Methods for a Four-Year-Old Child with Fever and Cough

Question

A four-year-old child started coughing last night. When he coughs, there is phlegm but he can’t cough it out. His voice is hoarse, and there has been no improvement after taking medication. How should it be treated?

Answer

You can use traditional Chinese medicine to treat the child’s cough, such as the “Children’s Lung-Cooling and Blood-Clearing Granules,” and the medicine for lung-relieving and cough-relieving, “Lung-Relieving and Cough-Relieving Compound.” These medications help alleviate coughing, throat discomfort, and fever. However, since everyone’s physical condition is different, the effectiveness of the medication may vary. It is recommended to use the medication under a doctor’s guidance.
