(1) Prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs

When parents choose medicine for their children, they must look for the label of over-the-counter drugs, or OTC. Over-the-counter drugs are safer than prescription drugs and have fewer side effects. Prescription drugs can only be purchased with a doctor's prescription. Parents must use such drugs only under the premise of following the doctor's advice.

(2) Symptom efficacy

When choosing medicine for your child, you should also consider the child's symptoms. For example, many children will have symptoms of fever, repeated coughing, excessive and yellow sputum, and dry mouth and thirst when they have a cold. These are typical symptoms of lung heat. When choosing medicine for children, the Chinese medicine pediatric lung heat cough and asthma oral liquid should be the first choice, rather than simply choosing antipyretic and analgesic drugs.

(3) Child status

If the child is in good spirits even when he has a fever, it means that the child's problem is not serious and there is no need to rush to see a doctor. Just choose appropriate medication. When choosing antipyretic drugs, priority should be given to safe and mild Chinese medicines to minimize drug side effects and adverse reactions.
