Children with sore throat and runny nose are suffering from wind-cold cold, which is caused by the attack of wind-cold evil and the loss of lung qi. You can give your child some pungent and warming Chinese medicine to dispel the cold, such as wind and cold granules, Zheng Chai Hu Drinking Punch, Tong Xuan Li Lung Pill, etc. Remember to give your child more warm water after taking the medicine to help the medicine dispel the wind and cold, and to eat a light and easily digestible diet.
