The difference between viral cold and bacterial cold in children

Children have always been a group that requires special care because they are weak and their immunity is not as strong as that of adults. Many people know that there are many inconveniences and taboos for children to take medicine, but if you are not careful, children can easily catch a cold and get sick. As we all know, there are many types of colds, and there are restrictions on the medicines children can take. So what should you do if your child has a viral cold? Today I will answer this question in detail for you.

Due to climate change, children are most susceptible to catching colds. Some parents rush to give their children medicine as soon as they see their children showing cold symptoms such as fever, runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, and sore throat. I especially like to give antibiotics to children. In fact, it is inappropriate to do so, because more than 90% of colds are caused by various respiratory viruses, and only a very small number are caused by bacteria. Antibiotics are only effective against inflammation caused by bacteria, and are useless for viral colds.

For viral colds, irrational use of antibiotics is harmful rather than helpful to children. Children's physiological functions are not yet fully developed, and many antibiotics are metabolized through the liver. The abuse of antibiotics can easily cause liver damage. In addition, improper use of antibiotics can easily destroy the normal flora in children's bodies, because antibiotics kill many probiotics while killing pathogens. In this way, mild cases may cause diarrhea, constipation, and loss of appetite, and severe cases may lead to fungal infections, such as fungal enteritis, thrush, fungal dermatitis, etc. At the same time, repeated use of antibiotics will also produce drug resistance, and when there is a real bacterial infection, the use of antibiotics will be useless.

Generally, children with a cold should drink more water, rest more, and take safe and effective antiviral cold medicines to recover quickly. Lianhua Qingwen Capsule is a new Chinese medicine that has entered the national drug review green channel and is both a cold and antiviral medicine. It has unique triple effects: 1. Broad-spectrum antiviral; 2. Reduce fever and inflammation; 3. Regulate immune function. Lianhua Qingwen Capsules can quickly eliminate common symptoms of children's colds, such as fever, chills, nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, headache, etc., and treat colds safely and effectively.
