Question
The child has been continuously running a fever, with red lips and a cough. Medication has not improved the symptoms, and the parents are asking if they need to be treated with injections.
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have an upper respiratory infection, which is quite common this season. It is recommended to try medication first, such as azithromycin, promethazine, and a licorice compound. Combine this with treatment via food (TCM), like a soup made from fritillaria thunbergii, lily, almond, pear, and rock sugar to clear the lungs and nourish them. During this period, drink plenty of water, consume fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing the child a swift recovery.
