Question
My 1-year-old has been frequently coughing and has a runny nose, along with constant crying. Although we have taken her for a check-up, the exact cause has not been identified. What are some effective treatment methods?
Answer
When children are exposed to cold air, they may experience runny nose symptoms due to sensitivity, which is often more pronounced in the morning. If the mucus is clear, it might be an allergic reaction, but it could also be a sign of a common cold. However, if the mucus is yellow, it may indicate a viral infection. For a common cold, you can consider giving them drugs like Sangjiao Cold Tablets, Children’s Cold Syrups, Platycodon Root Extracts, Yinyao Jiedu Tablets, Liu Shen Wan, and Vitamin C.
