Patient's question:
At eleven, a child with a fever, cough, sneezing, and runny nose—what medicine should they take? After taking two days of Strong Vitamin C and Mulberry Tablets and Roxithromycin Tablets with little effect, is it the wrong treatment? What medicine should they take or how should they be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hiccup and runny nose are symptoms of a cold. Fever indicates inflammation. How to carefully examine the child's tonsils? Suggestions: 1. Take cold medicine, such as cold (cold powder) with Radix Isatidis, three times a day. 2. If the tonsils are red and swollen, take anti-inflammatory medicine, such as Amoxicillin (stop use if allergic to penicillin). If the throat is fine, take absorbent medicine. 3. If coughing is more during the day and accompanied by thick phlegm, in addition to taking anti-inflammatory medicine, add cooling blood medicine. If coughing is severe at night, apply cupping on the back for 15-20 minutes.
