My child is eight years old. In the first grade of primary school, he has weak constitution and low immunity. In autumn and winter, he once kicked the quilt at night, caught a cold and had a fever. After taking him to see a doctor, he prescribed some medicine. After eating it, he got better and had no fever. But the cough after the cold had been intermittent and did not recover completely. It lasted for a long time I would like to ask what cold medicine should be prepared at home, what cold medicine should be selected, and what methods are there to choose cold medicine?

Second: some children's cold medicine in order to adapt to children's tastes, will add flavors and fragrances and other sweeteners in the accessories. Therefore, parents must be in line with the concept of "green nature", try to choose children's cold medicine with only sucrose as sweetener, and fully grasp the principle of "safety first". 　　

Third: to master the two secrets of "the combination of main and auxiliary ingredients should be clear, and the reputation of origin should be referred to more", parents should fully "differentiate" the main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients of children's cold medicine on the basis of understanding their children's cold condition, and combine the two. When a cold occurs, they should be cautious in the use of drugs under the guidance of doctors.
