Patient's question:
The child recently caught a cold and developed a fever because they didn't cover up at night. As a result, they are experiencing mild nausea, vomiting, clear nasal discharge, and coughing again. Over the past six months, we have given the child some medications, but they haven't been very effective. Now, I want to know how to handle a child with diarrhea, clear nasal discharge, and coughing for over six months.Doctor's answer:
When a child catches a cold again after feeling cold, symptoms like a runny nose and cough can be treated with cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and expectorant cough medicine. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits. Nausea and vomiting may be due to indigestion or a cold in the abdomen. You can also give the child some digestive aid medication, apply warm compresses to the abdomen, pay attention to preventing colds in the abdomen, control the indoor temperature and humidity to be suitable, and always keep the indoor air fresh.
