How to treat cough caused by viral cold in children?

Children are a group that is very prone to catching colds, because their bodies are not yet well developed, so they are very likely to catch a cold, especially a cold or cough caused by a viral infection. At this time, parents and friends must pay special attention to it, and pay attention to it in normal times, and actively take their children to the hospital for examination and treatment.

1. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine:

When children have runny nose, slight fever, throat discomfort, and decreased appetite, they can take small pills such as Baoyuan Dan and Zhibao Ding, one pill each time, three times a day. If the condition worsens after taking it for one day, you should stop taking the medicine and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

If the child's cough is paroxysmal and dry, antibiotics are ineffective, accompanied by an itchy throat, no fever, fear of cold air and smoke, and worsens at night, it may be an allergic cough.

Children with low fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, mild cough, etc. can take Miaolingdan, one pill each time, twice a day.

If the child has fever, red throat, hoarseness, and the condition is worse than before, you can add children's throat clearing granules or children's cold granules.

If a child suddenly develops a fever, you can use some pediatric heat-clearing granules. If the child has a high fever and a history of high fever convulsions, Zixue San can be used first. If the stool is dry and hard, you can use Niuhuang Qingre San once.

For children who cough due to colds but without fever, cough syrups such as children's lung clearing oral liquid and children's cough liquid can be used to control the development of the cough.

If the above symptoms do not improve, it is best to go to the hospital and ask a pediatrician for treatment. In addition, these commonly used respiratory Chinese patent medicines for pediatrics should not be taken for a long time or used indiscriminately, and are best used under the guidance of a doctor. The folk saying that "the pills are a great asset for children of all ages" is actually not scientific. If the above medicines are taken for a long time, it will damage the spleen and stomach of children.

The above is the editor’s detailed introduction. Everyone should be able to see it very clearly. There are still many treatment methods, so parents and friends must not worry too much. You should also keep some commonly used pediatric medicines at home for backup, so that you can carry out treatment well.
