Question
Is a child’s cough with phlegm and yellow nasal discharge a sign of lung heat?
Answer
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, symptoms such as coughing, expectoration, and fever are common. The measured body temperature does not need to be increased by 0.5 degrees; over 37 degrees is considered fever. You can treat it with pediatric paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules, drink plenty of water, and ensure proper warmth. In necessary cases, intravenous treatment can be considered.
