Question
My child has been crying frequently lately and has been diagnosed with a cold. I would like to ask how to handle this situation?
Answer
A cold is usually caused by a weakened constitution and exposure to wind and cold, leading to symptoms. It is recommended to give traditional Chinese medicine such as Yin Chiao San or Sang Ju Yin. If accompanied by coughing and rapid breathing, Xiao Qing Long Decoction can be used. At the same time, antibiotic treatment can be administered, and it is advisable to avoid eating cold and spicy foods, drink plenty of water, and expose the child to sunlight. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system disease, immediate treatment should be sought, and measures such as gastrointestinal pressure reduction should be used in conjunction. Additionally, the child should maintain a reasonable diet and avoid eating irritating and cold foods.
