Question
A parent inquired about how to treat their child’s symptoms of cough with phlegm, difficulty expectorating, runny nose, night-time vomiting, excessive sweating during naps, and a lack of appetite.
Answer
The doctor explained that the child’s condition may require a period of treatment before improvement is seen. It is normal for the treatment to show little effect after two days, and advised to continue focusing on the treatment. The doctor also mentioned that the child has small air bubbles in the lungs and is undergoing intravenous and nebulization treatments. The doctor provided suggestions for the issue of “receiving intravenous injections at the Mongolian and Chinese Medicine Clinic in Hohhot,” hoping it would be helpful to the parent and wished for the child’s health.
