Question
Does complementary Guizhaojin work for a three-year-old child’s sneezing and runny nose?
Answer
The child’s high fever and runny nose are clear signs of a fever. It is recommended to implement fever treatment to prevent the disease from worsening. Antiviral treatments with cooling and detoxifying effects, such as Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid or Dazao Ye Compound, can be used; for antibacterial treatment, you can use penicillin class antibiotics (such as Amoxicillin Granules) or cephalosporin antibiotics, with a medication duration of about one week; for symptomatic treatment, although theoretically it is suggested to use medication when the child’s body temperature is below 38.3 degrees, clinical diagnosis usually involves giving medication when the temperature exceeds 38 degrees. You can use a compound preparation (medicine) containing ibuprofen or Nimesulide for fever reduction, and also have a pediatric fever-reducing suppository on hand for rectal use before bedtime to prevent high fever convulsions caused by the drop in body temperature during the night.
