Question
The child has been coughing for a month without relief, accompanied by a runny nose and occasional sneezing, with no fever and good spirits. They were previously treated for pneumonia using cefuroxime, but the symptoms did not improve and led to enteritis. How can one effectively stop a child’s cough and runny nose?
Answer
It is recommended to undergo a chest X-ray to confirm the cause of the cough and runny nose. Anti-inflammatory medications may be needed to treat potential inflammation, and consider using cooling and detoxifying herbs as assist. At the same time, it is important to drink plenty of water to maintain body hydration. The cough and runny nose may be caused by issues in the lungs, throat, or stomach.
