Question
The patient is a one-and-a-half-year-old child with a runny nose and cough. The treatment situation on February 12, 2010, was taking medication, but the symptoms did not improve. How should it be handled?
Answer
During this season, children are less likely to have issues due to stomachaches. A runny nose and cough are more likely caused by catching a cold rather than stomach problems. It is recommended to use Double-puff Pseudoephedrine Dispersible Tablets and Vitamin C to combat fever, as well as using cooling blood tablets (carbocysteine tablets) to cool the blood and increase the excretion of nasal secretions. In terms of daily care, it is important to pay attention to preventing colds, especially keeping the knees warm to prevent catching a cold. However, do not overheat as excessive sweating can easily lead to catching a cold. If there is sweat, it should be wiped dry immediately.
