Patient's question:
I want to ask you several times, my child is 4 years old, with a cold and fever that doesn't go away, what's going on? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Children experiencing recurrent colds and fever are often related to their own low immune function. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, this is mostly attributed to deficiency of lung and spleen Qi and instability of Ying and Wei. Considering the child is currently four years old and showing symptoms of cold and fever again, it is best to take them to the hospital for a blood test to check the complete blood count. This can help determine if the child is experiencing frequent bacterial infections or viral infections. If the child is currently experiencing recurrent fever, it is advisable to first use medication to reduce the fever, followed by physical methods to help the child cool down.
