There are many types of colds, so parents should take their children to the hospital to identify the specific cause and administer medication only under the guidance of a pharmacist. Self-medication is strictly discouraged; medications must be taken strictly as prescribed by the physician, and appropriate cold remedies should be selected. This approach may yield better or more suitable therapeutic outcomes. In particular, for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) cold remedies, it is essential to first differentiate the syndrome—such as wind-heat cold, wind-cold cold, or gastrointestinal cold—as each requires a distinct herbal formulation. Selecting medications based on the infant’s specific cold characteristics ensures safety.
