Question
A four-and-a-half-year-old child suddenly developed a cold last night, with a stuffy nose and then a fever. The child said they felt an uncomfortable stomach and had a bit of nausea in the morning. What could be the cause? What medication should be taken?
Answer
As described, the child’s condition is likely due to stomach inflammation. It is advisable to pay attention to the child’s warmth, take their temperature, and consider giving them over-the-counter cold medicine, such as Xiao’er Qijiu, in combination with Pudelin. Additionally, stomach upset can lead to discomfort, such as indigestion. Pay attention to the child’s diet, eat small meals frequently, and always keep bowel movements smooth. Also, consume light and easily digestible foods. Furthermore, consider giving the child some gastrointestinal health supplements.
