Question
Lately, my supervisor has said I seem to lack vitality, which has affected my work performance. In fact, I don’t want to be like this either; I can’t sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious, not feeling too comfortable. I’m worried that this will affect my health and work. What medication should a baby take for a cold and cough?
Answer
Your condition may be due to wind-cold-induced cough. This kind of cough is caused by exposure to wind and cold. The characteristics of this symptom include frequent coughing, thin and white phlegm, accompanied by clear nasal discharge, pale or slightly red tongue with thin coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, fever, and sometimes even rapid breathing. Treatment for this condition can include using Sanao Decoction along with medicine that reduces gas and resolves phlegm. For pediatric respiratory system diseases, there are many possible causes. If a child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory system disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment and perform gastrointestinal decompression. At the same time, it is important to cultivate good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention to not allow their children to develop bad habits of picky eating or being partial to certain foods, and should have a balanced diet.
