Question
The baby used to have a bad trachea whenever it coughed, and would need intravenous drips. Now, after finding an elderly Chinese medicine practitioner and taking traditional Chinese medicine, the condition has improved somewhat, but it still often recurs. What should be done?
Answer
Generally speaking, colds are usually caused by viral infections, and the use of intravenous drips is generally due to severe colds accompanied by complications, which is a relatively common disease. When there are repeated infections, it is often due to the child’s weakened immunity. You can appropriately enhance the baby’s exercise and increase its immunity so that colds will become more frequent. And as long as there are no severe complications after a cold, there is no need for intravenous drips. It is best to let the baby’s own resistance completely clear the virus.
