Question
Lately, I’ve been feeling unwell, which has affected my work performance. I’ve been experiencing sleeplessness at night and occasional palpitations, worrying about the impact on my health. I would like to know which medication should be used for a child’s cold.
Answer
For the aforementioned situation, pediatric paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules can be administered along with doxylamine granules for oral use to alleviate cold symptoms. In case of high fever or other severe symptoms, immediate medical attention should be sought. Furthermore, for colds with wind-cold, one can use cold-clearing granules, while for wind-heat, silver and yellow granules can be chosen. The combined use of Chinese and Western medicine is more effective.
