Question
Can children with colds and coughs drink chicken soup?
Answer
Since children with colds and coughs may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, and chicken soup can also easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort, it is recommended to first give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, tonsillitis, and traditional Chinese medicine to cool the lungs and nourish the blood. Closely monitor the treatment effects. If the effects are not significant, it is advisable to take the child to a regular pediatric department of a hospital for detailed examination and follow-up consultation.
