How to Treat Cough in Children: Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine Approaches

A child’s cough may be caused by changes in the weather or a respiratory infection. Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have different methods of treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine often uses herbs such as rhizoma anemarrhenae, radix arnebiae, and coptis chinensis to treat cough. Western medicine may use antitussive drugs and expectorants, or protective irradiation to increase the excretion of sputum. Coughs caused by fever are usually symptoms of viral or bacterial infections that inflame the throat, trachea, and bronchi.
