Child with cough and nasal congestion, what to do?

Patient's question:

Temperature of the child has been checked, no fever, but the child has a cough and nasal congestion. Doctor, is this good?

Doctor's answer:

Children with cough and nasal congestion are usually due to respiratory infections. Most colds are caused by catching a cold, and they are also related to weather changes. For children with cough and nasal congestion, it is best to take cold medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs orally for a few days, along with lung-cleaning treatment. During a child's cold, they need to drink more warm water. When the weather changes, provide them with more clothes to prevent them from catching a cold. You can also use scallions, ginger slices, rock sugar, pears, and Fritillaria cirrhosa to boil water for relief.
