What should I do if my child has a red and swollen throat and coughs?

Coughing is usually the most common symptom, especially for children. Children's physical fitness is relatively low, so they are particularly prone to coughing. If they cough for too long, their throats are likely to become red and swollen. It is best to let your children drink more warm water, which will make the sputum in their children thinner and not as thick as before, so it can effectively relieve their children's respiratory symptoms.

Pediatric Massage Therapy

Pediatric massage therapy refers to the treatment of children's cough-related symptoms through traditional Chinese massage therapy. Currently, the more well-known pediatric massage clinics include Shanghai Kangyao Pediatric Massage, Qingdao Pediatric Massage, and Beijing Yuming Pediatric Massage.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

When children have runny nose, slight fever, throat discomfort, and decreased appetite, they can take small pills such as Baoyuan Dan and Zhibao Ding, one pill each time, three times a day. If the condition worsens after taking it for one day, you should stop taking the medicine and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

What should I do if my child is always coughing? If the cough is paroxysmal and dry, antibiotics are ineffective, accompanied by an itchy throat but no fever, and the child is afraid of cold air and smoke, and the cough worsens at night, then it may be an allergic cough. Children with low fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, mild cough, etc. can take Miaolingdan, one pill each time, twice a day.

If the child has fever, red throat, hoarseness, and the condition is worse than before, you can add children's throat clearing granules or children's cold granules.

If a child suddenly develops a fever, you can use some pediatric heat-clearing granules. If the child has a high fever and a history of high fever convulsions, Zixue San can be used first. If the stool is dry and hard, you can use Niuhuang Qingre San once.

For children who cough due to colds but without fever, cough syrups such as children's lung clearing oral liquid and children's cough liquid can be used to control the development of the cough.

If the above symptoms do not improve, it is best to go to the hospital and ask a pediatrician for treatment. In addition, these commonly used respiratory Chinese patent medicines for pediatrics should not be taken for a long time or used indiscriminately, and are best used under the guidance of a doctor. The folk saying that "the pills are a great asset for children of all ages" is actually not scientific. If the above medicines are taken for a long time, it will damage the spleen and stomach of children.

Once a child has a red, swollen throat and cough, it is best for parents to use Chinese herbal medicine for treatment. This can effectively treat children's diseases without any side effects. On this basis, massage can also be used as an auxiliary treatment. Usually, Chinese medicine massage techniques can treat a series of symptoms of children's cough, but it must be done under the guidance of a doctor.
