Question
How to deal with a child’s cough and nasal congestion?
Answer
Children’s cough and nasal congestion are usually caused by respiratory infections. Common colds are often due to catching a chill and can also be related to weather changes. It is best for children to take some days of cold and anti-inflammatory medication, use respiratory clearing drugs, drink plenty of warm water during the cold, provide clothing during weather changes, try to keep children from catching a chill, and also use scallions, ginger slices, rock sugar, pears, and fritillaria to boil water for relief.
