Disease description:
Recently, my young nephew has had a mild cough, so I purchased some cough patches. Do children’s cough patches actually work for coughs?

Dr. Xie Zixing
Children’s cough patches are effective for cough relief. Using cough patches as part of treatment can aid in later-stage recovery and generally does not significantly impact the patient’s overall health. However, they must be used strictly under a physician’s guidance; self-medication should be avoided to prevent adverse effects on health. Additionally, after developing a cough, consuming stewed pear with rock sugar may also help alleviate symptoms.
