Question
A three-year-old child has been coughing at night and upon waking up in the morning for a week now, and has not taken any medication yet. What medicine should be taken?
Answer
Generally, a fever in the early stages is often caused by viral infections, and during the initial stage, you can give the child a pediatric lung heat cough asthma oral liquid, which has the effects of clearing heat, resolving phlegm, and relieving coughing and asthma. This is a traditional Chinese medicine formula specifically designed for children, containing Mahuang Xingren Shiganshu, a classic formula for clearing lung heat. During the fever period, ensure the child drinks plenty of warm water, gets adequate rest, and can undergo physical cooling. Observe the child’s sweating condition and change clothes frequently.
