Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng

Generally, eating foods such as garlic, pears, and loquats can help recovery faster. In daily life, one should rest more, avoid getting chilled, dress appropriately, and refrain from walking barefoot on cold floors. Additionally, it is important to rest adequately, drink plenty of water, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. If coughing persists, medications that relieve cough and expel phlegm can be taken, such as Xiao'er Kaichuanling Granules (Pediatric Cough and Asthma Relief Granules).
