Question

A child has had a cold for over a month, with intermittent fever, low-grade fever, hot palms, and a reluctance to eat. Parents are inquiring about how to resolve the child’s loss of appetite.

Answer

It is recommended to give the child Sensilec and Magan granules, and ensure adequate hydration. If the body temperature rises, you can use ibuprofen suspension to reduce fever. At the same time, wish the child a speedy recovery and remind parents to cooperate with the doctor’s advice during treatment. Appropriate gastrointestinal relaxation should be performed, and good hygiene habits should be maintained. Parents should avoid letting the child be picky or have a preference for certain foods, ensuring a balanced diet.
