Patient's question:
The child is 6 years old and visited the doctor for a fever. They took it for two days and then developed severe nasal congestion. They take Loratadine before bed, but the fever is still high at 39.2 degrees. Can they take Motrin?Doctor's answer:
Consider it to be a viral cold. Generally, there is no specific treatment for a viral cold. It is important to rest, avoid getting cold, drink more water, and eat light, easily digestible food. You can also take medications such as Compound Aminophenylamine Tablets and Compound Coptis Rhizoma Decoction for treatment.There are many reasons that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with respiratory problems, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
