Patient's question:
Child; Runny nose; Sneezing; What medicine is good for it?Previous treatment and effectiveness: Currently taking Ganmaoling Granules
Desired help: A child who is one month and two months old; Runny nose; Sneezing; High fever; What is good to eat?
Doctor's answer:
The baby has a cold with symptoms including loss of appetite, runny nose, and sometimes fever (temperature not exceeding 38°C); the baby is listless and has poor appetite. After sweating and fever reduction, the symptoms disappear, but coughing may persist for 3 to 5 days.Cause: This is common during spring, summer, autumn, and winter when temperature fluctuations are large. Most cases involve exposure to cold, such as kicking the blanket while sleeping at night, wearing too little clothing, or taking a cold bath.
Treatment: Generally, no special treatment is needed. Instead, the baby should be given more warm water, ginger juice, or scallion water. Cold medicine should be used as little as possible. When the baby is restless or has a fever, children's Xinkou oral liquid can be used. Adult fever-reducing medicine should never be used. It is also not advisable to give expectorant lozenges or cough tablets, or to use antibiotics.
