What to do if your child has a viral cold

Have you heard of viral colds in children? I feel that most parents don't know about this disease, and they will definitely ask if it is just a cold. So I would like to ask these parents to pay attention. This is not the common cold we usually talk about. This kind of cold must be treated with special treatment to be cured. So please read carefully what I write below about viral colds in children.

There is currently no specific antiviral drug for the treatment of viral colds. Experts point out that early detection and early medication can achieve better results. Symptomatic treatment and traditional Chinese medicine treatment are often used clinically. The natural course of a viral cold is about one week, so treatment cannot be rushed. Some patients, seeing no significant improvement in their condition, go to several hospitals for treatment over a period of days, with treatment and medication being intermittent. This practice can affect the efficacy of the treatment, leading to slower recovery or worsening of the condition. To prevent viral colds now, you should pay attention to seasonal changes, add or remove clothes at any time, especially to avoid catching cold when sleeping at night; normal work, life, and study should be a combination of work and rest. Excessive fatigue will lead to a decrease in resistance and make you extremely susceptible to viral colds. The diet should be light, and you should eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins. Children should not drink cold drinks. Patients with colds and fever need to rest in bed, keep warm, and reduce activities. The residence should be ventilated frequently and maintained at a certain temperature and humidity. Families should try not to use air conditioning, and the air in the room can be fumigated and disinfected with vinegar. Viral colds are contagious to a certain extent. Therefore, people with weak constitutions should avoid going to public places in the near future, strengthen physical exercise, and drink more water. If you find yourself experiencing symptoms such as fever and sore throat, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise the disease will become more and more serious.

After seeing what I said above, you may be very worried about your children. Don't worry, if you let your children pay attention to the following methods, they will not easily get this disease. First of all, don't go to crowded places on weekdays. Secondly, you should maintain good personal hygiene, wash your hands and change clothes frequently. Finally, you should actively participate in exercise to improve your immunity.
