Should babies take acetaminophen for colds?

Children's acetaminophen is a commonly used medicine for baby colds. If parents find that their children have cold symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing, it is best to take young children to the hospital for treatment and use the medicine under the guidance of a doctor. For slightly older children, you can use pediatric acetaminophen or take the child to the hospital for treatment. If the baby's condition does not improve after taking the medicine, go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.

Children's Paracetamol Phenylamine Granules are white, off-white or light yellow granules. It is an over-the-counter medicine for colds. Used to improve headache, fever, sore throat, nasal congestion and other symptoms caused by colds. Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules are a compound preparation.

The acetaminophen in Children's Acetaminophen Huangnamin Granules produces analgesic effects mainly by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins (inhibiting prostaglandin synthase) and blocking impulses at pain nerve endings. The latter may be related to the inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins or other substances that can make pain receptors sensitive (such as 5-hydroxytryptamine, bradykinin, etc.). The antipyretic effect is achieved by producing peripheral vasodilation through the hypothalamic temperature regulation center, and works by increasing blood flow, sweating and heat loss in the skin; chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that competitively blocks histamine (H1) receptors, relieves allergic symptoms, and can relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, etc. caused by colds; artificial bezoar has antipyretic and sedative effects.

Can Children's Paracetamol and Phenylacetamine Granules treat sneezing caused by colds?

Colds and sneezing are one of the most common infectious diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that colds are caused by the invasion of the human body by the six evils, which refer to the six pathogenic evils in nature: wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire. Among them, wind evil is the first of the six evils and is the main cause of colds, so ancient doctors called colds "colds." Western medicine believes that colds are caused by viruses and that the symptoms of colds are the body's own defense against the viruses. People who are malnourished, overly tired, lack sleep, are in a bad mood, or suffer from some chronic diseases will catch a cold if they catch a cold. Children are more susceptible to colds, which is related to their physiological and anatomical characteristics and immature immune system. Children's nasal cavity is narrow, their mucosa is tender, and the secretion of mucosal glands is insufficient. They have poor adaptability and resistance to the external environment and are prone to inflammation.
