Patient's question:
The child of my good friend is two years old this year. He has caught influenza recently. So, the child has also caught a cold. Because the child is too young, we can only give him medicine and dare not give him an intravenous drip. However, the effect of the medicine is very slow. So, I want to ask. What should be done for children with influenza?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is recommended that you give your child some children's cold medicine orally. Children's cold medicine generally has very few side effects. You can also take your child to a professional physiotherapy clinic for treatments such as massage and acupuncture, which can be very effective. Encourage your child to drink more plain water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy foods. Try to minimize taking your child to crowded places, and keep the indoor environment well-ventilated at all times.
