Patient's question:
The child might have caught a cold because the weather turned cooler but they didn't add more clothes, then they had a fever and sweat, leading to a stuffy nose. Later, they ate some medicine for colds, and now they want to give the child some lotus seed porridge, which is good for colds.Hello, can you eat lotus seeds when you have a cold and cough?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take 999 Cold & Flu Relief for wind-cold type colds and VC Serrapeptase for wind-heat type colds. At the same time, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, eat light, easily digestible, and nutritious food, avoid alcohol and smoking, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If you have high fever, cough, wheezing, and difficulty breathing, you should be sent to the hospital immediately for emergency treatment. Infants are prone to capillary bronchitis, which is a common type of lung disease and can lead to pneumonia. If the child's complexion is often pale or breathing is rapid, hunching shoulders while breathing, and the lower part of the chest wall also moves during inhalation, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly.
