You can go to certified TCM to treat cough/phlegm and PD for further checks. Young kids are pretty common to fall sick often esp in IFC/CC. Can't be avoided because we may take all the precautionary methods but at the end of the day, there will be some kids still being sent to school because of the selfish attitude of some parents. I would also suggest to give supplement, medicine prescribe, home remedies, keep the child at home till recover 100%. For common runny nose that might be morning runny nose or sinus. In this case, actually most centre will reject if slight fever, flu, cough, spots, ulcer happened to the attending kids.
