Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How should I treat a child with a cold and a headache?Doctor's answer:
Colds are often triggered by external factors such as exposure to cold wind and poor immunity. Colds are typically associated with viral infections, and there is no specific treatment—symptomatic management is sufficient. If symptoms do not improve after three days of medication or if the condition worsens, it is necessary to see a doctor, as complications may arise at this stage. The principle of medication is to use oral administration if possible, avoid intramuscular injections if oral administration is feasible, and avoid intravenous injections if intramuscular injections are not necessary. If intravenous injections are required, avoid intravenous drips. Medications have a certain time limit. It is recommended to focus on a light diet for the child.
