What medicine should children take for upper respiratory tract infection? In China, acute respiratory infection accounts for 2 / 3 of pediatric outpatients. It is a frequent and common disease in pediatrics, and is also one of the main causes of child death. Repeated respiratory tract infection, that is, 7 or more times a year, will affect the growth and development of children and the function of various organs. Children with low resistance are vulnerable to external invasion, which can cause upper respiratory tract infections, including common cold, bronchitis and bronchopneumonia. Children with upper respiratory tract infection often have fever, chills, cough, runny nose and crying uncomfortable symptoms.
Children with recurrent respiratory tract infection exist in all age groups, especially in children under 2 years old. According to its clinical manifestations, it is called "exogenous", "cold" and "cough" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed that the causes of the disease are congenital deficiency and improper postnatal care (such as spleen and stomach weakness caused by improper feeding, abnormal transportation, lack of Qi and blood biochemical sources), resulting in deficiency of spleen and lung, and the invasion of exogenous pathogens.
The clinical manifestations of this disease often begin with upper respiratory tract infection, with fever and different body temperature. There may also be nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, headache (infants can not tell, shaking their heads, irritability and other manifestations), chills, pharyngeal itching, sore throat, cough and other symptoms. Individual children can cause convulsions due to sudden high fever at the beginning, and some have gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. If the disease extends to the lower respiratory tract, there may be varying degrees of fever, cough, asthma, suffocation and expectoration, and sometimes hoarseness. If there is bronchiolitis (more common in infants), children can have asthma, restlessness, pale, purple lips, sweating and other symptoms.
In children with recurrent respiratory tract infection, artificial feeding infants are more than mixed feeding infants, and mixed feeding infants are more than breast-feeding infants. Therefore, if parents can master some necessary knowledge of diet and dietotherapy and take action, it is very beneficial to the prevention and treatment of the disease.

Some children may have belching, nausea, vomiting, bellyache, loose stools and other conditions after taking milk, which can reduce the amount of milk, and suspend in severe cases. In addition to milk, one or two eggs can be given to children every day. It can be eaten by boiling, shelling or breaking the eggs, steaming with appropriate amount of water and salt.
For older children, you can give fish, lean minced meat and vegetable mud, and you don't need to beat mud when you are over 2 years old. Root vegetables such as potato, taro, yam, lotus root, water chestnut, arrowhead, etc. can be boiled into mud for children to eat.
