Patient's question:
The baby used to have bad trachea whenever he coughed and had to be given intravenous drips. Now, we have found an old Chinese medicine practitioner who prescribes traditional Chinese medicine, and it usually takes about a week to recover. However, it tends to recur easily. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Generally, colds are usually caused by viral infections. Intravenous drips are typically used in cases of severe colds accompanied by complications. Colds are a relatively common illness, and recurrent infections in children are often due to their underdeveloped immune systems. You can appropriately enhance your baby's exercise to boost their immunity. Once the immunity is improved, the frequency of colds may increase. Moreover, if there are no severe complications after a cold, intravenous drips are not necessary. The best way to completely eliminate the virus is through the baby's own immune resistance.
