Question
What medication should a child take for a cold and fever?
Answer
When a child exhibits symptoms of a cold with fever, it is typically due to an acute upper respiratory infection, which could be caused by a viral infection or possibly bacterial. Symptoms may include runny nose, sneezing, coughing, fever, and sore throat. It is recommended to give the child Sanjiu Cold Remedy Granules, Amoxicillin Capsules, Xiling Detox Tablets, and Licorice Tablets to alleviate symptoms. In severe cases, intravenous treatment may be necessary. Additionally, it is important to ensure the child drinks plenty of water, maintains a light diet, and avoids spicy and cold foods. Also, attention should be paid to keeping warm, avoiding catching a cold, and combining Amoxicillin and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid for treatment. Monitor the child’s condition closely and help them establish good living habits.
