Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How can I treat my child's viral cold?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is common to have symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be adjusted by adding 0.5 degrees—over 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can take pediatric paracetamol and chuanxindan tablets for treatment. Drink plenty of water and pay attention to keeping warm. In case of necessity, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.For your condition, you may need antibiotics, hormones, antihistamines, antiviral medications, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods, which are irritating. Regular exercise is recommended to strengthen your constitution.
