Question
How to handle frequent coughing in a one-month-old baby?
Answer
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, this condition may be caused by catching a wind-cold, leading to coughing. Typical symptoms include frequent coughing, thin, white sputum, clear runny nose, pale and red tongue, thin coating on the tongue, heavy cough sound, headache, fever, and possibly wheezing. Treatment is recommended to use Sanao Decoction in combination with medication to reduce Qi and phlegm for symptom relief.
