Question
What medications are suitable for a nine-month-old child with a fever?
Answer
When a child has a cold, it’s important to ensure they drink plenty of water and administer pediatric cold granules to help alleviate symptoms. You may also consider using traditional Chinese medicine antiviral medications, such as banlangen (isatis root) and Pudendran oral liquid. If the child exhibits symptoms such as fever and cough, it may indicate a bacterial infection, and antibiotic treatment may be necessary. Medications like oral small pieces of Ke or Roxithromycin can be given to the child, and symptoms should improve quickly. Throughout this process, make sure the child is adequately hydrated.
