Question
What should I do when my 1-year-old baby coughs, sneezes, and has a sore throat?
Answer
Your baby’s condition might be due to wind and cold-induced cough, a type of cough caused by exposure to wind and cold. The primary symptoms include frequent coughing, thin, white phlegm, clear nasal discharge, pale or slightly red tongue with thin coating, heavy cough sound, headache, fever, and in severe cases, rapid breathing. Treatment can involve using Sanao Decoction along with herbs that reduce gas and resolve phlegm.
