Question

Is eating daikon effective for prolonged cough in children?

Answer

The child currently has symptoms of pneumonia! Food therapy is only used in conjunction with medication, and it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a blood test. According to the situation, antibiotics and drugs for cough relief and bronchodilation should be chosen appropriately. For mild infections, anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally. For coughing or having phlegm, oral liquid of fresh bamboo lance or small child’s moxa granules can be taken. In severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy is recommended. Be cautious of infections caused by mycoplasma. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous injection of penicillin or oral azithromycin suspension should be used. Ensure adequate rest. If there is fever, fever-reducing drugs should be used to treat the symptoms.
