Patient's question:
Nasal discharge today, cause: unstable room temperature. Previous treatment and effectiveness: took medicine, Xia'er Tan Zhi Ke Granules, Amoxicillin Granules, Xia'er An Fen Huang Na Min Granules. What kind of assistance is needed: Can the medicine be taken...Doctor's answer:
Thank you for your speech. Now, let me explain this issue. At the same time, I suggest you not to give children a lot of antiviral and fever-reducing medications at once. In fact, fever can be treated by making the child sweat. You can drink ginger soup, milk, and give the child porridge, rice soup, fresh vegetables, and fruits. The diet should be light when feverish. The indoor air should be fresh, and ventilation should be noted.① For babies under one year old, give them brown sugar water. Brown sugar water is warm and can dispel cold.
② For babies over one year old, add a piece of ginger the size of a one-yuan coin to the brown sugar water. For those over three years old, cut two pieces of ginger.
③ Before bedtime, bathe the child's feet with warm water until their forehead slightly sweats. After bathing the child's feet, drink more warm water and go to bed early for rest. The child can still take medication, but it is still recommended to cook ginger soup with brown sugar to reduce swelling and help recovery.
