What medicine should children take when they catch a cold?

When the seasons change or in the cold winter, many children will catch a cold due to unstable temperature and the influence of cold air. When a child catches a cold, he or she should go to the hospital for examination and treatment, and pay more attention to keeping warm and adding or removing clothes appropriately in daily life. He or she should also make some adjustments to his or her diet. This will be very helpful for the child to recover from the cold.
