Question
What to do if a child has a good mental state but clears runny nose, hiccups, and feels cold all over?
Answer
Based on the hospital’s test results, the child may have an acute respiratory infection with a relatively severe degree of transmission. Although the infection has not fully recovered, the child’s mental state is good. There are still symptoms such as hiccups and runny nose, and the body temperature is low, which may be related to the frequent use of antipyretics. It is recommended to give the child focused oral antiviral traditional Chinese medicine, drink plenty of water, be aware of staying warm, and eat more vegetables and fruits. If the symptoms improve, you can go to the hospital for a re-examination.
