Question

What to Do When Your Child Coughs and Sneezes?

Answer

Coughing and sneezing in children are often caused by respiratory inflammation due to bacterial infection. It is suggested that you can give your child some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications, along with some traditional Chinese medicine for clearing the lungs and stopping coughs, such as chicken gallbladder oral liquid or honeyed loquat cough syrup. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water, and avoid greasy or irritating foods. If there is a runny nose, you can give them a cold granule solution, which can help treat the condition and alleviate symptoms.
