Patient's question:
My daughter has a cold and is running green nasal discharge. I gave her Qingkailing for 8 days. Now she is still running a nose, and I don't know the reason. Should I continue giving her medicine? Thank you.First follow-up question: What medicine did you use? She is only 18 months old. Can such an illness be completely cured? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the current condition of the child can be a symptom of a cold, but because the child is young and has a weak immune system, medication treatment is necessary now.For the above situation, you can give the child pediatric paracetamol and pseudoephedrine granules combined with diphenhydramine granules orally. If there is a significant high fever, please seek medical attention promptly. Alternatively, you can use traditional Chinese medicines: Wind-Cold Common Cold for wind-cold type colds (using Wind-Cooling and Clearing Heat Granules), and Wind-Heat Common Cold for wind-heat type colds (using Silver and Gold Granules). You can search for the symptoms of these two types of colds on Baidu. The combination of the above Western medicines with traditional Chinese medicines will have a more effective result.
