Question
I have a month-old child with colds and coughs who is not eating. I want to ask what to do. The duration of this illness and its persistence: 4 days. Hello, my child is 1 year and 2 months old. These days, he has had a cold and cough for two days, has been injected for two days but is not getting better, and is not eating anything for two days. I want to ask if this is related to digestion, and what medicine should I give him? Currently, he is not eating or drinking anything.
Answer
Not eating due to colds and coughs is a general reaction symptom of upper respiratory infections when there is a loss of appetite. Since pediatric diseases are different from those in adults in some aspects, it is recommended to take pediatric digestive enzyme granules or use Viactiv to discuss the regulation of digestive function while treating the cold and cough. Of course, treating upper respiratory infections is the key, which can be done through intravenous therapy to avoid digestive discomfort caused by oral medications.
