Patient's question:
My daughter is four years old. In the past two or three months, she has been constantly having a runny nose. When it's just the runny nose, we don't pay much attention to her. But a few days later, either a fever or a cough follows. Sometimes taking medicine helps, but the runny nose still persists. It keeps coming back, about every half a month. The last time she had a fever was just a week ago. She had two days of intravenous drips and took some anti-inflammatory medicine for a few days, but we didn't do much after that. The day before yesterday, she caught a cold again and coughed quite severely. What could be going on?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that your daughter's frequent upper respiratory infections are caused by weakened immunity due to physical frailty. It is recommended to take Yu Ping Feng Granules, Azithromycin Tablets, and Transfer Factor Oral Liquid orally for treatment. Drink more water, get more rest, pay attention to keeping warm, and maintain a light diet.There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
