Patient's question:
I've had a runny nose for 4 or 5 days. Starting yesterday, I've also developed a slight cough. Which method works well for treatment without side effects on the body? I previously took cold medicine, but it didn't work.Doctor's answer:
The child has again developed a runny nose and cough, which are usually symptoms of an upper respiratory infection, typically caused by a viral infection. If the condition is not severe, medication can be taken while also paying attention to preventing colds. Anti-inflammatory drugs and cold medicine granules can be used, along with drinking plenty of water. It's important to maintain a suitable temperature and humidity level indoors. If the condition is severe, it's necessary to go to the hospital promptly and receive treatment as recommended by a doctor.
