Question
What should be done if a child frequently has a weak constitution and experiences cold and cough symptoms?
Answer
If a child has a poor constitution for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine if there is a deficiency of specific minerals or other underlying causes. In daily life, it is important to supplement zinc and calcium, and encourage the intake of vegetables and fruits. If the cold symptoms are occasional, it should be avoided to use antibiotics randomly, as children’s colds are often characterized by such symptoms. Additionally, one should be careful not to overclothe the child, as this may worsen the condition. This point is extremely important.
