It is best not to self-administer medications blindly, as this may cause harm to the body and potentially lead to developmental delays in children. We recommend visiting a hospital for a thorough examination and initiating timely treatment to prevent worsening of the condition. Additionally, encourage the child to drink plenty of warm water, which can help alleviate symptoms; parents may also perform gentle massage.
