Question
Yesterday, I took my son to the water park for fun, and he caught a cold. This morning, he woke up with a cough and runny nose, but it’s not severe and he doesn’t have a fever. I gave him some medicine from the pharmacy. Do I still need to take him to the hospital for treatment?
Answer
Hello, this situation is mainly due to catching a cold. It’s best to pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold. Drink more hot water. I suggest taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, cold medicine, and herbal remedies for clearing the lungs and cooling the blood for treatment first. If the medication does not improve, it is necessary to go to the hospital for blood tests and chest X-rays to check the cause of the infection and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to a light diet. Wishing the patient a quick recovery!
