Patient's question:
Recently the weather has been very changeable, and my baby might have caught a cold at night. He wakes up early and constantly sneezes and has a runny nose. I took him to the hospital to see a doctor, who said my baby has a cold and prescribed some medicine. Eggs can help boost his body, but I'm not sure if my baby can still eat them when he has a cold.What kind of help I need: Can children with a cold eat eggs?
Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis: Based on your description, your condition is a respiratory infection caused by exposure to cold wind. You can take oral medications to dispel wind and warm the body, such as Congtaike. Also, maintain a light diet, drink plenty of water, and eat more vegetables and fruits, avoiding spicy foods. Consume more protein and vitamin-rich foods, such as lean meat, chicken, liver, fish, and eggs. You can eat eggs with sugar. Children with colds and fever can eat eggs. Generally, the early stages of a cold are caused by viral infections. You can start by giving your child children's cold medicine. In addition to ribavirin granules, make sure to give your child plenty of fluids. If coughing and phlegm reappear, you can add anti-inflammatory medications, such as Zanamivir or Cefixime granules. Pay close attention to your child. If the condition worsens, it is best to take them to the hospital.
