Patient's question:
The child has a cold, with the main symptoms being coughing up phlegm, stuffy nose, and no high fever. I gave her Shuanghuanglian Granules, but the effect isn't very significant.What kind of assistance is needed: I'd like to ask the doctor if there are any medications that are more effective...
Doctor's answer:
Symptoms are considered to be caused by a fever. Generally, it is necessary to see a doctor for a diagnosis to determine whether the fever is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. If it is a viral fever, there is no specific medication, and ribavirin granules or children's paracetamol and phenylephrine granules can be taken for relief. Additionally, it is important to take good care of the baby and reduce symptoms. Generally, after seven to ten days of treatment, the fever can be resolved. If it is caused by bacteria, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
