How many days can a child take anti-inflammatory medication at most?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How many days at most can children take anti-inflammatory medicine?

Doctor's answer:

If it's a common cold, antibiotics are not needed, as colds are primarily caused by viral infections, and there's no need for anti-inflammatory drugs. Moreover, taking too many anti-inflammatory drugs is not beneficial for a child's growth. If the condition is severe, it's important not to rely on medication constantly.
