For children with severe colds, drug treatment is the first choice. Only standardized medication can alleviate cold symptoms and help the body recover as soon as possible. However, there are many types of cold medicines. Parents should choose according to the age and symptoms of the child. In order to avoid side effects, it is recommended to use the medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

If the child's cold is not serious, then there is no need for medication. Water therapy can be used to relieve cold symptoms. Drinking more water can increase the body's metabolic rate and kill the cold virus as quickly as possible. It is recommended that mothers add some fruits to boiled water so that children will like it more and can also supplement vitamin C.

If the child is already able to eat complementary foods, it is recommended to treat the cold through diet therapy. For children with heat colds, some mung bean soup or white radish soup can be used to detoxify and reduce internal heat. For children with wind-cold colds, some ginger and brown sugar water or scallion boiled water can be used to effectively dispel the wind-cold and relieve cold symptoms.
