Question
The child has a cough accompanied by a runny nose, which has not improved for four days. The child has taken symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication but the effect is not satisfactory. How should it be treated?
Answer
The child has been suffering from a cough and runny nose for four days, and has already taken symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication without seeing any improvement. It is recommended to use pediatric Hongtong granules and Kegan oral liquid in combination with Fenagan tablets, while ensuring plenty of water intake, a light diet, maintaining good indoor air circulation, and keeping the child warm. If symptoms such as persistent high fever, chills, headache, or seizures occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
