Question
What should a child eat to quickly alleviate cough and runny nose?
Answer
It’s generally necessary to see a doctor for a diagnosis of whether the infection is viral or bacterial. Blood tests can be done to initially determine if it’s a viral or bacterial infection. For viral colds, there are no specific remedies, but you can take ribavirin granules or pediatric paracetamol amine granules for treatment. Additionally, coughs can be treated with cefixime granules and fresh bamboo decoction.
