Question
Can a 1-year-and-3-month-old child with continuous coughing during naptime use the following prescription? Are there any side effects to Douling, and is it safe for a 1-year-old to take it? We have been doing nebulizer treatments for over 20 days and taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for more than a week, which somewhat suppressed the cold, but after changing environments, the coughing continues. Could you please advise, thank you!!! (Male, 15 months old)
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s condition can be treated with Chinese medicine gradually. It could also be allergic cough or caused by mycoplasma infection. In necessary cases, you can have the baby tested for mycoplasma antibodies and take oral immunity-enhancing or antiallergic medications. This is the advice for this question, hoping it will be helpful to you, and wish your baby a quick recovery!
