Question
The baby has a cold with runny nose, cough, and high fever. The symptoms started with a runny nose, followed by coughing and fever. No medical treatment has been sought.
Answer
This situation could be due to wind-cold syndrome, which is more common during autumn and winter. Symptoms include general body ache, nasal congestion with runny nose, and cough with phlegm. Treatment can include Western medicine, Chinese medicine, or food therapy; it is suggested to use Jing Fang Bai Du San. For pediatric respiratory system diseases, immediate treatment should be sought once diagnosed, along with gastrointestinal decompression, while also developing good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
