Question
My child had nasal congestion, high fever, a slight cough, and vomiting with phlegm yesterday afternoon. What medication is better for them to take? Thank you. Past treatment and results: It was different from this high fever before, and I want the help to ask what medication the child should take.
Answer
Mild colds in children usually have a good prognosis as long as they are properly treated, and they usually recover within three days. If the fever is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, it can be carefully observed first. Be careful not to catch a cold and use some drugs to reduce fever and detoxify. Also, give them water occasionally, and measure their temperature every 6 hours. Additionally, it is recommended to take vitamin supplements and Wushan Zhengqi Water, and drink plenty of water but not in large quantities at once, rather in small amounts several times. Also, ensure adequate rest and stick to a light diet. Avoid cold drinks, pay attention to changes in the weather, and do not overeat after catching a cold.
