Patient's question:
My little one at home has some symptoms of wind-cold cold. We only have Hai De Wei Clearing Heat and Relieving Cold Granules at home. Is it okay for children to take this medicine? There will definitely be no interference, right?Doctor's answer:
Recurring cold symptoms have appeared, and medication should be taken based on these symptoms. If taking Western medicine, any cold-related medication can be used. If taking traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for colds, it is necessary to treat according to the syndrome differentiation based on the symptoms. If there is fever, sore throat, cough, and no chills, then a heat-clearing and detoxifying cold medicine can be taken. If recurring symptoms such as runny nose, cough, and chills appear without fever, then a pungent-warm, exterior-releasing cold medicine can be taken.
