Question

Lately, my boss has said I’m not looking well, affecting my work performance. In reality, I don’t want that either; I can’t sleep at night, sometimes I feel dizzy, and I’m not very comfortable. If it gets serious, I’m worried it might affect my health and work. What should I pay attention to in the diet when a child has a fever and coughs?

Answer

When a child has a fever and coughs, the following dietary precautions should be taken:

  1. Consume more light foods and avoid spicy or greasy dishes.
  2. Drink plenty of water to help the body detoxify and replenish fluids.
  3. If symptoms are severe, appropriate medication treatment can be considered, such as Sensilin or Mahan Gan Granules.
  4. If there are fever symptoms, you can use ibuprofen suspension for oral administration to reduce fever. Based on your described symptoms, the primary issue appears to be coughing caused by bronchitis. It is recommended to undergo anti-inflammatory treatment and consider using intravenous therapy and Chinese medicine opsonize for symptom improvement. In terms of diet, it should mainly be light to reduce the burden on the body.
