Question

What should I do if my child loves to cough between 5 and 6 PM?

Answer

Your child’s condition may be due to wind-cold induced common cold cough, known as “wind-cold cough.” This type of cough is characterized by frequent coughing, thin, white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale or slightly red tongue with thin coating, heavy cough sound, headache, fever, and in severe cases, rapid breathing. Treatment can include using Sanao Soup along with medication to reduce gas and resolve phlegm. There are many causes for respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric respiratory problems, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, follow gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow children to develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
