Question
My child is eight years old. They went to play at their grandmother’s house yesterday and probably caught a cold after sweating. They have a runny nose and their throat is itchy. They haven’t received any treatment before, and I want to know what medicine they should take.
Answer
A runny nose and itchy throat are symptoms of a cold, and the medicine Gankang is used for relieving fever, pain, and antiviral effects. It is suitable for symptoms such as nasal congestion, sore throat, headache, and fever caused by the common cold. It can also be used for the prevention and treatment of influenza. The dosage of Gankang is one tablet per dose, twice a day. I suggest you take your child to the hospital for a check-up. Simply taking Gankang is not enough; even the best medicine needs to be supplemented by other medications. The human body is a complex system. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
