Question
What should I do if my child keeps catching a cold and coughing?
Answer
Your child may be suffering from wind-cold cough. This type of cough is usually caused by exposure to wind and cold, characterized by frequent coughing, thin, pale sputum, clear runny nose, thin white tongue coating, heavy cough sounds, and headache with fever. It is recommended to use Sanao Decoction along with medications to reduce gas and dissolve phlegm, and you can also administer pediatric tonsil tablets. If symptoms persist, it is advisable to visit a regular hospital pediatric department for examination, such as routine blood tests and ultrasound monitoring, and to develop a reasonable treatment plan based on the examination results. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery.
