My child is 8 and a half years old. A week ago, I noticed that their lymph nodes in the throat were swollen, and they have not taken any medication. Yesterday, they showed symptoms such as decreased appetite, low fever at 37.3 degrees Celsius, headache, and mild coughing. After taking cold medicine, today they experienced nausea and loss of appetite. These symptoms may indicate upper respiratory inflammation. It is recommended to treat them with Cefalexin, Carbocisteine oral solution, and Pulmonary Comfort granules, and to pay attention to rest, regular living habits, avoid fatigue, refrain from spicy foods, and drink plenty of water to promote metabolism.

Not all children infected with Hp need radical treatment, as Hp infection does not equal anemia.
