Question

What should be paid attention to when giving medication for children’s cold and cough?

Answer

When deciding on medication for a baby’s cold and cough, it is crucial to be cautious. First, it is essential to have a clear diagnosis. Under the guidance of a professional pediatrician, choose an appropriate and safe treatment plan. Try to opt for traditional Chinese medicine with fewer side effects, and ensure the dosage is determined based on the baby’s weight under professional guidance to prevent overmedication. If Western medicine is chosen, it must be a pediatric-specific medication to avoid using adult medication.
