Question
My child has been frequently experiencing dry coughs lately. We’ve seen a doctor, but no issues have been detected. What should we do?
Answer
Based on the description, the child’s dry cough may be due to lung yin deficiency. Treatment should focus on nourishing yin and moistening the lungs to relieve cough. It is recommended to use the modified Shashen Mai Dou Soup and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and prevent them from having picky eating habits. If a respiratory system issue is diagnosed, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including measures such as tube decompression, and develop good hygiene habits.
