Question
My child has a runny nose today. What are some relief methods for pediatric respiratory system diseases?
Answer
For pediatric respiratory system diseases, it is advised not to give multiple medications at once. When a child has a fever, help them to sweat by using methods such as drinking ginger soup, milk, and eating porridge, rice gruel, fresh vegetables, and fruits. Keep the indoor air circulating. For babies under 1 year old, you can give red sugar water to dispel coldness; for children over 1 year old, you can add ginger. Soaking feet in warm water before bedtime can help reduce fever. It is recommended to make ginger soup with red sugar to induce sweating in the child.
