Question
What medicine should a child take if they continuously cough, sneeze, have a runny nose, and produce phlegm?
Answer
There is no specific medication for viral colds, so it is recommended to rest more, avoid catching a cold, stay hydrated, and consume light and easy-to-digest foods. Additionally, you can take medications like Compound Paracetamol tablets and Compound Isatis Leaf Combination to treat the symptoms. If diagnosed with a respiratory infection, treatment should be coordinated with a doctor, including measures such as gastrointestinal pressure reduction, and good hygiene habits should be cultivated. Parents should also pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
