Question
How should I treat my child’s continuous dry cough for a month? Previous treatment and effectiveness: After the cephalosporin amoxicillin granules and pediatric lung-cleaning syrup didn’t work for a week, the hospital conducted a thorough examination and said there was nothing wrong. They then prescribed An Ning granules and Fentanyl oral liquid to be taken for another week, but the cough was still light. Assistance needed: Hello, what should I do?
Answer
Hello, generally speaking, both medication and dietary treatments can effectively relieve a child’s cough. For instance, you can try the Nian Ci An honey-coated loquat syrup; after taking a sip, it feels refreshing and your throat no longer itches! You can also opt for the snake gall loquat syrup, which allows the child to inhale the cool blood medicine through vaporization. Traditional Chinese medicine loquat stewed with pears can also help with expectoration and cough relief; use one pear, cut off the top to serve as a lid, remove the core, add 10 grams of rock sugar and 6 grams of loquat powder, cover the pear lid, place in a bowl, steam until soft, and eat the pear while drinking the juice. Additionally, make sure to give your child plenty of water.
