Question

My child had a sore throat and coughed before, but after taking the medicine, there was still a little bit of cough. I gave them two boxes of Yamen Granules, and they maintained the condition for three days. Today, they’ve started coughing again. I just checked and their throat is red again. What’s going on?

Answer

Based on your description, your baby’s current symptoms may be caused by indigestion. It is essential to drink plenty of plain water. You should give your child symptomatic anti-inflammatory oral liquid and encourage them to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Reduce meat consumption. Drink plenty of plain water, in small amounts and frequently.
