Question

My child has had a cold recently that hasn’t healed, accompanied by coughing, and they are currently running a persistent fever. As a parent, I’m anxious and seeking medical advice on how to deal with the cough and persistent fever caused by the cold.

Answer

It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat the cold. If there is a high fever, you can use a fever-reducing patch, and for low-grade fever, it is important to use antipyretic medication promptly. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water and maintain a light diet.
