Question 1: My son is over four years old. Ever since he was a child, he has been sweating profusely whenever he goes to sleep, soaking the pillow, his back is wet, and his legs are damp. Don\’t dare to cover him too thickly or tightly in winter, otherwise he will still sweat, which is the case all year round. Is this a physical issue? Dr. Sun Cuiying answered: Children are prone to sweating. If a child sweats at night, it is a sign of night sweats. You can buy some Pediatric Xuhanting Granules for your child. Boys are naturally active and it is normal to sweat a lot. You can also go to a good quality drugstore to buy some floating wheat for your children to make tea, and reduce snacks and fried foods. In addition, check to see if the child has calcium deficiency, which may also occur with calcium deficiency. Question 2: My baby has been coughing for half a month. It was a very mild cough at the beginning and no medicine was used. It\’s been a bit serious these past two days, my throat is a little red and swollen, there\’s not much phlegm, and there are no other symptoms. Ask how to do? Doctor Yuan Yunlong answered: If your baby has been coughing for half a month and coughs up a small amount of sputum, he can take cefixime granules at 1.5-3 mg/kg based on body weight, twice a day. Combined with Children\’s Feire Kechuan Granules, it can also be combined with Ambroxol Oral Liquid to dilute sputum and promote sputum discharge. Take it for two days and see if the condition improves, continue taking it. If the condition does not change or worsens, it is recommended to see a doctor for a consultation. Question 3: My child likes to lick his lips and his lower lips are always very red. Can I use compound dexamethasone ointment? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: It is mainly caused by licking lips. Try not to let children lick their lips, otherwise even if they are cured, the disease will recur. You can apply it externally with vitamin E capsules or with sesame oil at home. It is not recommended to use compound dexamethasone ointment. This medicine is a hormonal medicine and cannot be used casually.
