Patient's question:
My child has always been very healthy and is now 2 years old, basically never having been sick. However, a few weeks ago, my wife and I took him to the Underwater Park. After coming back home, the child got sick. At night, he kept coughing, and the syrup we gave him didn't help.Doctor's answer:
Hello, first and foremost, it is important to wash hands frequently, ensure good ventilation, drink plenty of water, maintain a regular schedule, have a balanced diet, exercise regularly, pay attention to keeping warm, and keep the living space clean. For older children, symptoms may include mild nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, and low-grade fever, along with limb pain or headaches. You can use Children's Cold Syrup (powder), Zhibao Yuan Pills, or Yinqiao Powder. Any of these medications can be chosen, and they should be taken with decocted water made from one scallion and three slices of ginger.
