Question
My child has a dry cough, vomiting, accompanied by a runny nose and sneezing, and wakes up coughing at night. There are also symptoms of diarrhea. The previous treatment was effective, but the diarrhea has not healed. I hope to find a way to help my child recover quickly.
Answer
Hello, children have weaker resistance and less adaptability to changes in the external environment, making them prone to catching colds and experiencing recurrent symptoms. For cough and runny nose, you can give your child pediatric lung heat cough syrup. This is a specialized Chinese medicine preparation for children that contains Mahuang Xingren Tang, which has the effects of clearing heat, resolving phlegm, stopping coughing, and soothing asthma, and it also conforms to children’s medication habits. In terms of diet, maintain a light diet and avoid eating fish, shrimp, and meat. Also, pay attention to daily care. When feverish, give your child more warm water to drink, ensure they get enough rest, perform physical cooling (cooling), and observe their sweating condition to change their clothes in a timely manner. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you. Wishing your child a quick recovery.
