Question
A six-year-old boy has no appetite for dinner and irregular bowel movements after having a cold and fever. He is listless and lacks appetite! His hands and feet are cold, and he doesn’t sleep soundly at night. What should I do for his runny nose?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, it is important to pay attention to choosing light, easy-to-digest foods. It is recommended to eat small meals more frequently, and if necessary, you can also consider giving some medicinal herbs that help with spleen and stomach health. Pay close attention to any dry heaves or nausea and vomiting. Also, monitor for fever, and consider using traditional Chinese medicine as a base, avoiding antibiotics to prevent gastrointestinal reactions.
