Question
Can children with cough and fever take Shenling Baizhu Pill?
Answer
Based on the symptoms, the child’s cough and fever are likely due to an upper respiratory tract infection. Generally, it is a viral or bacterial infection. Guidance: The child’s cough is caused by fever, indicating a lung heat condition, and it is absolutely not advisable to take Shenling Baizhu Pill. Shenling Baizhu Pill is used to treat lung deficiency cough, which is chronic bronchitis. The child’s cough caused by fever is an external infection, not the same as the chronic condition. If the child has recurrent fever due to bacterial infection, it is necessary to undergo anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment. If the child has chills due to fever, they can take cefaclor granules, Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Children’s Qingfei Liangxue Granules, and Ruiji Qing for treatment. If the fever persists after taking these medications and the cough becomes softer, intravenous therapy may be required. It is necessary to choose penicillin or cefalosporin antibiotics and combine them with Yanhuning for continuous intravenous infusion for 5 days. In daily life, make sure the child drinks plenty of water, avoid cold exposure, and be mindful of preventing colds.
