What should I do if my child has a fever, cough, and runny nose?

Patient's question:

The child's condition is not very optimistic this time, and it hasn't improved after two weeks. How can you help him recover faster with a few episodes of fever, cough, and runny nose? Should I take him to see a Western medicine doctor or a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?

Doctor's answer:

The child has reappeared with symptoms of fever, cough, and runny nose. This is likely caused by a cold, so during this period, it is important to pay attention to staying warm, drinking more hot water, eating a light diet, and avoiding greasy meats. If the cold seems severe, you can take appropriate cold remedies to help promote a faster and more thorough recovery. If the cough is particularly severe, you should also consider using lung-moistening, lung-cleansing, and blood-cooling medications in conjunction.
