Doctor's answer:

Hello, first of all, maintain a balanced diet, get adequate rest, and supplement with vitamins C and D. Symptomatic treatment is usually sufficient. For infections, antibiotics like amoxicillin and spiramycin can be used, along with herbs like Pu'dilan and Yan Ke Ning, which often help improve symptoms. It is best to follow the advice of a clinical physician. I don't know what your symptoms are—whether it's a "hot" cold, mouth ulcers, or digestive discomfort due to "excess heat." If you only feel slightly "hot" and uncomfortable, drinking more water, eating vegetables and fruits, and supplementing with vitamins generally helps clear the heat.
However, if you have a cold, mouth ulcers, or digestive discomfort that requires medication, it is still recommended to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, you can drink more soups, such as sweet pear soup. Vegetables, fruits, and dietary fiber can aid digestion, promote bowel movements, and help clear heat. If your "heat" is severe, you may temporarily avoid breastfeeding your baby and switch to formula until you recover.
