Patient's question:
3-year-old baby initially had a cold with sneezing for about 4 days, without medication. 2 days ago, clear nasal discharge started; occasional sneezing; occasional cough without phlegm; nasal congestion. Took children's paracetamol and chuanxinmine granules for 1 day. Had pneumonia last year, which has been treated and cured. About 20 days have passed since recovery from pneumonia. The baby has poor immunity and is prone to colds. Previous treatment and outcomes: Currently taking children's paracetamol and chuanxinmine granules for 1 day. What help is needed: After taking children's paracetamol and chuanxinmine granules for 1 day, the symptoms haven't worsened but haven't improved either. Do I need to add other medications? Is this a viral cold? ;; Urgent! Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The child has a cold with symptoms like coughing, and medication for the cold should be given to treat it. The swollen tonsils can be treated with cephalexin for inflammation, and antiviral granules can also be taken. It is also recommended to use children's cold granules. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Do not dress the child in too many layers, otherwise it will be easier to relieve the cold. When necessary, exercise more regularly to enhance the body's immunity.
