Question
What are the effective medications for pediatric respiratory infections?
Answer
Upper respiratory infections can cause symptoms such as fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Fever is often infectious and mainly due to the presence of pathogens. If the pathogens are not eliminated, fever can recur. Children can be given oral cold medications such as children’s paracetamol yellow amanitin granules or children’s cold granules for treatment. If the body temperature rises above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral ibuprofen can be taken to bring the body temperature back to normal. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for routine blood tests, C-reactive protein, etc., to determine the cause of fever and treat accordingly. Children should drink plenty of water, and the room should maintain a certain humidity; sprinkling water on the floor can help improve nasal dryness and discomfort during breathing.
