Question
My 2.5-year-old child has had a cold and cough for three or four days. Although the fever has subsided with medication, the cough persists, and it causes wheezing when they cough. There is no phlegm. How should I treat my child’s cold and cough? Are there any medications that can quickly relieve the symptoms? Can they drink cough syrup?
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s condition may be a mild cough, and it is generally not recommended to use cough medicine, as coughing is a natural response of the body. If the cough is severe and affects your child’s daily life, consider using Pulmo-Cough to alleviate the symptoms. For wheezing, you can use a nebulizer inhalation of Budesonide to provide relief. Additionally, it is suggested to include fruits in the diet, such as apples and longans. Please take medication under the guidance of a doctor. I hope my explanation is helpful, and wish your child a speedy recovery.
