Question
What can be done if a child keeps coughing non-stop at night?
Answer
Based on your description, the child may be suffering from wind-cold cough due to a common cold. Symptoms of this condition include frequent coughing, thin and white phlegm, clear nasal discharge, pale and slightly red tongue, thin tongue coating, loud cough sounds, headache, and possibly an elevated body temperature. Treatment can involve using San Nao Soup, a traditional Chinese medicine formula, along with herbs that reduce gas and resolve phlegm.
