Patient's question:
Coughing and runny noseUsed to have high fever, now not anymore
Five days ago, past treatment and effectiveness: Took medicine for five days, including anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing drugs. Symptoms improved. Now the child is fussy and has poor appetite.
What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, is there any method to help the child eat more food?
Doctor's answer:
Suggest taking oral antiviral medication and fever-reducing herbal tea. Even with viral fever, secondary bacterial infections are common, so it's best to take antibiotics orally as well. If oral medication doesn't work, it's recommended to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. Intravenous medication is better because blood drug concentrations are higher and it takes effect faster.If there is phlegm, try oral Shanzhu Li (fresh bamboo extract). Generally, it takes 7-10 days to recover on its own. It's best to see a doctor. If appetite is poor, try taking a small amount of Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (oral liquid for strengthening the spleen and stomach).
