Question
What to Do When a Child Has a Cold?
Answer
A child’s cold can be caused by viral infection or improper diet, with symptoms including coughing, runny nose, and fever. If not treated promptly, it may lead to complications such as pneumonia. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a consultation, and antibiotic medications may be administered if there is a fever. Additionally, children can be given some lung-cooling medications to treat the cold. Moreover, considering taking the child to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner can help reduce the side effects of antibiotics. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for children’s colds is also very effective. My child once had tonsillitis and now no longer needs intravenous injections thanks to traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
