There are also antiviral nasal drops, eye drops, etc. Cold medicine treatment is not very important. What is important is to take good care of the child, monitor body temperature, prevent heat shock, ensure adequate sleep, replenish enough water and nutrition, and pay attention to the transfer of the disease and complications. Because the cold is a self-limiting disease, the virus has a certain survival period in the body. The course of the disease will naturally improve.

In addition, the efficacy of some antiviral drugs is not very reliable, and some kill white blood cells, leading to leukopenia. Therefore, more traditional Chinese medicines are used clinically to clear away heat and detoxify, such as honeysuckle, blue root, etc. Take some symptomatic drugs for severe symptoms, such as cold and fever medicine.
