Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
For a child's heat-related cold, it is primarily important to drink plenty of warm water, which can promote blood circulation and metabolism, aiding in recovery. Then, under a doctor's guidance, administer anti-cold medications. Commonly used medicines include Xiao Er Su Re Qing Granules and Xiao Er Gan Mao Granules. If fever is present, antipyretic medications such as ibuprofen suspension or nimesulide granules can be used in combination. However, please note thatnimesulide granules are recommended for children aged 12 years and older.
