Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
It is not normal for children to repeatedly catch colds and develop fevers. Colds and fevers are typically caused by a weakened immune system, which allows viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens to invade the body. Viral infections generally last about five days and can be treated comprehensively with antiviral oral solutions. During the course of medication, it is appropriate to take protein powder and bovine colostrum to enhance the body's immunity and reduce the occurrence of illness.
