Question
Lately, the child has been coughing frequently and is often restless. Although a medical consultation has been conducted, there has been no improvement. I am asking whether medication can be administered for treatment.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be suffering from a cough caused by wind-cold cold. The characteristics of this type of cough include frequent coughing, thin, white sputum, clear runny nose, pale red and white tongue coating, and a loud cough sound. Treatment can involve using San Nao Tang along with Chinese herbs that reduce gas and resolve phlegm. However, since there are many causes of fever, and it may involve serious diseases, it is recommended to first use alcohol wipe bath to reduce fever and further investigate the cause before deciding whether to administer medication.
