TCM treatment for children's cough

Today's living environment is getting worse and worse, and colds and fevers caused by virus invasion are very common. Common colds and fevers caused by viruses are difficult to cure. Children have weak constitutions, so common colds and fevers can cause many symptoms. Moreover, symptoms such as coughs and fevers caused by colds often recover more slowly than in adults. So what should we do if children have a cough? Is traditional Chinese medicine effective? Let’s take a look now.

When children have a cold accompanied by lung heat symptoms, the condition is more severe than a common cold and can often lead to serious lung diseases such as pneumonia. The main symptoms are high fever, sore throat, repeated coughing, or wheezing, sticky or yellow sputum, thirst, yellow nasal congestion, dry stool, and yellow urine. During treatment, you can choose drugs that can eliminate heat, detoxify, promote lung function and resolve phlegm. For example, the ready-made medicines include Yinqiao Jiedu Pills (Tablets), Lingqiao Jiedu Pills, Sangju Cold Tablets, Banlangen Granules, etc. If the fever is severe and the throat is obviously swollen and painful, you can take Shuanghuanglian oral liquid (granules) or Qingrejiedu oral liquid. These medicines have good heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. At the same time, for symptoms such as cough and asthma, expectorant, antitussive and antiasthmatic drugs should be taken in combination with treatment. However, the above prescriptions are mostly for adults and are not completely suitable for children and young children.

Based on traditional prescriptions, the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences has developed an oral liquid for lung heat, cough and asthma in children, based on the characteristics of frequent and recurrent symptoms of lung heat, cough and asthma in children, as well as susceptibility to lung infection. It is based on the classic ancient prescriptions of China, "Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang" and "Bai Hu Tang", and is modified by adding shuanghuanglian and isatis root. It has the effects of clearing heat, relieving cough, relieving asthma and removing phlegm. Only one Chinese patent medicine is needed to systematically treat lung heat, cough and asthma in children. Pediatric Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid has a broader spectrum antiviral effect than Western antiviral drugs. And long-lasting antipyretic effect. It can be used as one of the first choice drugs for clinical syndrome differentiation treatment of upper respiratory tract infection in children.

Although medical technology is very advanced now and Western medicine is very effective in treating symptoms such as cough, long-term use of Western medicine will cause the human body to develop drug resistance. Therefore, using traditional Chinese medicine to treat coughs and colds is the best method. There are now many Chinese patent medicines specifically for children's coughs. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is the best choice.
