Patient's question:
The child is eight months old now. They are a bit stuffy with a runny nose and intermittent coughing. What should the doctor do? The local folk doctor decided to push medicine into the child's buttocks, but they don't know if there are any side effects.Doctor's answer:
Children with a cold may just have a runny nose and cough. You can use Xiao'er Ganmao Granules for this. If they don't have a fever, there's no need to take fever-reducing medication. Check their temperature a few times to see if they have a fever. If they don't have a fever, drink more water and take some Ganmao Granules. The local doctor will apply medication to the rectum to see if it's a fever-reducing drug. You can confirm this in a few minutes. If it is a fever-reducing drug, then there's nothing to worry about.
