Symptoms and treatment of viral colds in young children

Infants with viral colds usually have fever, which can be persistent, and are prone to febrile convulsions and generalized muscle twitching, which can be life-threatening. It can be accompanied by cough, sputum, nasal congestion and runny nose, as well as abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. At this time, symptomatic and etiological treatment should be the main focus. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius or more, Tylenol and Merlin can be used to reduce fever. If the baby does not want to take it orally, you can choose anal suppository administration. The body temperature can be lowered by some physical cooling methods, such as taking a hot bath and wiping the skin surface through which large blood vessels pass, such as under the neck and groin, with a towel moistened with warm water. For coughing and coughing up sputum, carboxymethylstilbestrol oral solution and aminoglutethimide syrup can be given. For etiological treatment, for viral infection give antiviral oral solution, blue scutellaria oral solution, ribavirin, oseltamivir and other drugs.
