Dry cough for my daughter

The first mode of treatment would require figuring out -why- she is coughing, not -that- she is coughing - see “treating the cause vs. the symptoms” for more on that. Our cough treatment section, particularly the sub-section on acupuncture protocols for cough will give some general pointers.

In a patient that age without other immune issues, a dry cough generally indicates a dietary/digestive issue (i.e. reflux). That is generally aided by restricting dairy and/or gluten from the diet. Another common possibility (still generally aided by diet) is allergies.

I would suggest you see a physician to determine the cause of the cough first and then if you’d like to utilize Chinese Medicine consult with a practitioner in your area and have your daughter receive proper comprehensive care.
