Patient's question:
A couple of days ago, when the baby was sleeping, he didn't cover himself properly with the blanket, which led to him catching a cold and having a fever. So, I wanted to ask, what should I do if a child gets cold and then catches a cold and develops a fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, general patients are likely to have wind-cold colds. Wind-cold colds are caused by the external invasion of wind-cold pathogens and the failure of lung qi to ventilate. The cause is usually due to fatigue, combined with wind exposure or exposure to cold. Wind-cold colds typically occur more frequently in autumn and winter. Generally, they are treated with acrid-warm exterior-relieving methods to ventilate the lungs and dispel cold. The key to treating wind-cold colds is to induce sweating. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is known as acrid-warm exterior-relieving, and it can be treated with Ganmao Qingre Granules or ginger tea, which are both effective.
