Question
Coughing accompanied by fever and runny nose. Not too much coughing during the day but severe at night. Previous treatment and results: Took fever-reducing medication. Desired assistance: Wants to know if a one-year-old child can take Bovetin Capsules.
Answer
This condition in the child is considered an upper respiratory tract infection. If the stool is not dry, generally there is no need for Bovetin Capsules. Antibacterial and expectorant/cooling blood type medications should be taken. It is recommended that you do not take Bovetin Capsules; if you are seeking to clear heat, you can take Qing Kai Ling Drops instead. A little bit of Xinglin Granules and Qingfei Liangye Granules would suffice. Drink a little hot water and keep the room well ventilated.
