Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng

For children with colds, pneumonia, and vomiting, it is recommended to eat foods that are easy to digest and absorb. The diet should be light, and appropriate amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables can be consumed. Additionally, medications to relieve vomiting, such as domperidone tablets, may be used under a doctor's guidance. Moreover, cold-relief medications can also be administered, such as pediatric paracetamol, chlorpheniramine, and pseudoephedrine granules. However, please note that domperidone tablets are recommended for use in individuals 18 years of age and older.
