Question
What should I do if my son has a little cough?
Answer
Your situation may be a wind-cold common cold cough, caused by exposure to wind and cold. The symptoms include frequent coughing, thin, white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale or slightly red tongue with thin coating, heavy cough sound, headache, fever, and in severe cases, rapid breathing. Treatment can be administered with San Nao Soup and medications that reduce gas and resolve phlegm.
