Question
Is a child over one year old coughing and experiencing yellow nasal discharge due to lung heat? My child is over one year old and is coughing with yellow nasal discharge. Is it due to lung heat? I haven’t seen a doctor yet, what medicine can I give them?
Answer
If the child’s tongue coating is yellow and red, it indicates wind-heat cough. It is recommended to take children’s lung heat cough syrup and consume foods that clear the lungs, resolve phlegm, and relieve cough.
