Patient's question:
Recently the weather has been very unpredictable, with sudden temperature fluctuations. In the morning, I noticed my child wasn't feeling well and had a general sense of weakness. When we went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was a cold. How can I use dietary therapy to help a child with a cold, cough, and runny nose?Doctor's answer:
The current condition is believed to be a cold accompanied by symptoms such as runny nose, cough, and coughing up phlegm. You can take Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules for cold relief, Cefpodoxime Granules for fungal infections, and Guaifenesin to reduce phlegm. You can also take Wind-Cold Cold Decoction for treatment. It is recommended to have a blood test to check for viral or bacterial infections. If you frequently get colds, you can take oral medications or receive intravenous injections to boost your immunity. Medication treatment is also advisable.
