Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Colds and fevers in children are common illnesses, often caused by viral or bacterial infections. Chiqiao Granules have the effects of relieving superficies syndromes and clearing heat while resolving stagnation. They are somewhat effective for children with wind-heat type colds accompanied by stagnation syndrome, such as symptoms of fever and cough, nasal congestion and runny nose, sore and red throat, poor appetite and thirst, abdominal distension, constipation, or foul-smelling stools.
When children display symptoms of cold or fever, self-administered medication is not recommended. If the physician determines that Chiqiao Granules are suitable for the child's condition, he or she will prescribe an appropriate dosage based on the child's age, weight, and other factors.
Chiqiao Granules should be taken strictly according to the doctor's instructions, paying close attention to dosage and administration method. Meanwhile, during the period of cold and fever, children should drink plenty of water, ensure adequate rest, and consume a light, easily digestible diet.
