Question
My child has been coughing for more than half a year, and Western medicine treatment has been ineffective. What suggestions does traditional Chinese medicine have?
Answer
It is recommended to take the child to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to identify the root cause of the cough through dialectical treatment and use traditional Chinese medicine for opsonize. At the same time, attention should be paid to increasing the child’s nutrition, supplementing vitamins and trace elements, maintaining a good mood, and getting enough rest. You can try taking Yuming Feng San and Xiao Qinglong Capsules, etc., but please use them under the guidance of a doctor. If there are symptoms such as persistent high fever, timely medical treatment should be sought to perform routine blood tests to assist in diagnosis. During fever, physical cooling measures or appropriate use of antipyretic drugs can be adopted. Fever usually lasts for a period of time, during which you should drink plenty of water and pay attention to rest. If there are signs of malaise or other abnormalities, medical treatment should be sought immediately.
