Patient's question:
The child has been constantly running a nose these days. She has a cold, and it has been two or three days already. It hasn't gotten better, and she keeps crying. She must be in pain. What should a child with a cold eat?Doctor's answer:
The child has developed symptoms of a cold again. It is important to let the child rest more and drink plenty of water. The cause of a cold is usually a virus, and fever is a normal physiological response. Conventional medications primarily aim to alleviate symptoms. Children can take pediatric paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules in combination with diphenhydramine granules orally. If the child develops a high fever again, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Timely treatment will yield better results.
