Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
When children show symptoms such as excessive internal heat (commonly known as "fire") and coughing, it is recommended to treat them as follows: 1. If excessive internal heat is present, it is necessary to consult a qualified physician and use medications such as Qinghuo tablets to treat the condition. However, this medication is suitable for individuals aged 14 and above. 2. If coughing is caused by excessive internal heat, medications such as Snake Bile and Fritillaria Pear膏 (lozenge) can also be used to control the progression of the condition. When symptoms such as excessive internal heat occur, it is advisable to consume fewer spicy seasonings such as chili peppers.
