Patient's question:
My child has had a slight cough and runny nose these past few days. I don't know which medicine would be better to take.Doctor's answer:
The reasons for frequent colds are viruses or dietary causes that lead to inflammation of the flat conductor, causing the child to have a fever, which may also lead to other symptoms such as pneumonia. When visiting the hospital with a fever, the only treatment available is the infusion of antibiotics, as there is no effective fever treatment. A doctor may prescribe some medicine to clear the lung fire and treat the cold. It is best to take the child to a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner if possible, to reduce the side effects of antibiotics. Good TCM treatments are very effective for children. My child was the same before the flat conductor became inflamed. Now, TCM treatment does not involve injections or intravenous infusions.
