If the sick child has a blocked nose and no sweating, you can decoction a stick of green onion and add brown sugar before taking it.
In addition, avoid eating raw and cold foods and cold fruits, such as watermelon, pears, bananas, kiwis, etc. Also avoid eating sour and astringent foods, such as vinegar, pickles, and fruits such as hawthorn, black plum, and jujube.

☆Pediatric wind-heat and cold
Pediatric wind-heat and cold is the most common clinical disease. It can occur at any time of the year. Its symptoms are severe fever, generally not afraid of cold, sweating, yellow runny nose, cough, yellow phlegm, sore throat, thirst, dry stool, and yellow urine. Chinese patent medicines can be selected from children's cold granules and wind-heat cold granules.
When the fever is high, you can use Bezoar Qingre Powder or Zixue Powder together with decoction. You should pay attention to your diet and eat as little or no fish, meat and other foods as possible. It is advisable to take light liquid food or ten liquid food. And keep the stool smooth.
Summer cold: It often occurs in summer when the climate is hot. The main symptoms are high fever, thirst, boredom, profuse sweating, dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, vomiting or diarrhea, etc.
Chinese patent medicines such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills can be used. The food should also be mainly light, and you can eat more fruits such as watermelon. Fresh reed root can also be boiled in water and taken frequently.
The main symptoms of a cold in children are fever, runny nose, nasal congestion, and cough, sometimes accompanied by vomiting and mild diarrhea. Especially children under one year old have severe systemic symptoms, mostly high fever, not feeding, and even convulsions. Seeing this situation, parents must be very anxious. So, how to use medicine reasonably for children? The following points are for reference:
(1) Do not rush to reduce fever. There are several reasons for not rushing to reduce fever in children:
① A body temperature of 37.5 to 38°C is considered low fever, 38 to 39°C is considered moderate fever, and above 39°C is considered high fever. Low or moderate fever is beneficial to the growth and development of children. Fever is the body's response to viral or bacterial invasion. This reaction is conducive to the destruction of invading viruses and bacteria, thereby conducive to the normal growth and development of children.
②No medication is needed unless the fever is high. If the body temperature reaches 39 degrees or above, medication must be taken without delay. High fever that lasts for too long can cause many important functions of the body to become dysfunctional; increase the burden on the heart and blood vessels due to high consumption of oxygen and nutrients; excessive brain excitement can cause febrile convulsions or excessive suppression can cause drowsiness; digestive disorders; weakened resistance, mergers Pneumonia etc.
③ Antipyretic drugs have serious side effects and should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Whether it is paracetamol, aspirin compound (APC), or a variety of other antipyretics, they are all synthesized from aspirin, caffeine, and phenacetin. Therefore, antipyretic drugs have major side effects: irritating the gastric mucosa, destroying appetite, aggravating gastric ulcers and even bleeding, causing long-term gastrointestinal bleeding and resulting in iron deficiency anemia; causing blood diseases; damaging the liver and kidneys ; Severe allergic reactions may manifest as exfoliative dermatitis combined with liver and kidney poisoning and death.
④ Physical and drug cooling may be used as appropriate.
(2) Rational use of drugs: Do not use antibiotics casually when children have a cold. Some antiviral drugs should be used, because colds are caused by viruses.
Commonly used anti-cold virus drugs in children include:
① Viralin (morpholin), the dosage is 10 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, orally divided into 3 times.
② Banlangen granules, half a bag each time, 3 times a day, take with boiled water.
③ Amantadine, 0.1 grams per tablet, the dosage for children is calculated according to age, and the allowed continuous taking time is 3 to 5 days, and the longest time should not exceed 10 days.
④ Antiviral oral solution, half a bottle each time, 3 times a day.
⑤Kanggan Jiedu granules, half a bag each time, 3 times a day, take with boiled water.
(3) Indications for the combined use of antibiotics:
① When the fever does not go away after taking antiviral drugs.
②Prevent secondary bacterial infection in infants under 6 months old.
③The total number of white blood cells in the blood test was significantly increased.
④Those who often suffer from tonsillitis.
⑤Those with signs of bronchitis (cough, purulent sputum) or pneumonia.
(4) When using antiviral drugs, antipyretics, and antibiotics, you should pay attention to the following points:
① The dosage should not be too large, and the taking time should not be too long.
②Drink more boiled water to promote the absorption and excretion of drugs.
③Children under 3 years old have immature liver and kidneys, so paracetamol should not be used.
④The child or his family has a history of allergy to antipyretic drugs.
