Question
What should I do if my child has a persistent cough and fever?
Answer
Your child may have wind-cold flu with cough, which is caused by exposure to wind and cold. Symptoms include frequent coughing, thin, white phlegm, clear nasal discharge, pale or slightly red tongue, thin coating, heavy cough sound, headache, and fever, sometimes even with shortness of breath. It is recommended to use Sanao Decoction along with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
