Patient's question:
It's just that giving her a bath at home at noon might be a bit cool, and she's sneezing a bit. I gave her children's cold medicine, but I'm afraid she'll catch a cold and her throat will get inflamed, so I also gave her some Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium (4:1) dry suspension. You said she has a fever and needs to take anti-inflammatory medicine...Doctor's answer:
Two types, a runny nose is usually a wind-cold fever, while without a runny nose, it is generally a wind-heat cold. Specifically as follows:Wind-cold fever onset is relatively rapid, with fever, chills, even shivering, no sweating, nasal congestion, clear nasal discharge, cough, thin white sputum, headache, general body aches, decreased appetite, normal urination and defecation, thin white tongue coating, etc.
Wind-heat cold mainly manifests as high fever, but chills are not prominent, nasal congestion, thick nasal discharge, heavy cough, or yellow, thick sputum, headache, thirst with a preference for drinking, red, dry, itchy throat, dry stools, yellow urine, and upon examination, the tonsils are red and swollen, the pharynx is congested, the tongue coating is thin yellow or thick yellow, the tongue body is red, and the pulse is floating and rapid.
Advice: For wind-cold fever, the key is to induce sweating. For example, drink hot tea, but not too strong. You can also drink ginger soup. It is advisable to eat lotus root starch, milk, porridge, rice soup, fresh vegetables, and fruits. During fever, a light diet is recommended. The indoor air should be fresh, and ventilation should be ensured.
The above advice is for the question "Should children with colds take anti-inflammatory medication?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
