Patient's question:
My child doesn't like to eat and vomits. The doctor prescribed medication for this. I would like to ask if my son can take the cold medicine at the same time as the appetite medication.Patient: Male, 3 weeks old. Currently has a runny nose and a hoarse throat, with coughing for about two to three days. No fever. First took the appetite medication, then the cold medicine for runny nose and coughing. I would like to ask if the cold medicine can be taken together with the appetite medication.
Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon you mentioned, where children are picky eaters and have colds, is also a relatively common illness during childhood. A child's cold is related to them catching a chill. Generally, cold medicine and appetite stimulants can be taken together. During treatment, pay attention to drinking plenty of water, as this can help the illness recover more quickly. Pay close attention to giving your child plenty of water during treatment. Wishing for a speedy recovery from the illness.
