Question
My child is 2 years old. After eating a lollipop the night before, they started coughing the next day, with increasing amounts of phlegm that sounds thick. The coughing is frequent. Their tongue is bright red, and there is no coating. I’m asking for medication recommendations for treating fire and cough.
Answer
I recommend using “Fulushi” and Amoxicillin in a 7:1 ratio. These two medications are effective for treating coughs and expectoration caused by fire. At the same time, monitor your child’s condition. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, seek medical attention as soon as possible. In terms of diet, avoid giving your child spicy, greasy foods, drink plenty of water, and maintain a suitable indoor humidity to help alleviate the cough.
