Question
My child has a bit of a runny nose, keeps watering eyes, and occasionally has a cough. They’re not sleeping well at night. Past treatment and effectiveness: I’ve given them more water. Assistance sought: How can I make my child feel better?
Answer
It seems likely that your child still has cold symptoms. There might be an issue with the throat. Suggestion: It’s best to still consider using oral antibiotics. If oral medication doesn’t work, it’s recommended to switch to intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment, as it can deliver higher concentrations of medication and work faster. If there’s phlegm, you can try giving them fresh bamboo decoction. Additionally, it’s best for them to sleep on their side during naps. These are my suggestions for how to make your child feel better, and I hope they are helpful. Wishing you health!
