Question
What medication should a 2-year-old child take for a cold and cough?
Answer
Baby coughing is a sign of a cold due to catching a chill. The appropriate medication should be chosen based on the cough situation (such as the amount of phlegm and whether there are other symptoms). For mild coughs, a lung-clearing syrup can be used. For less phlegm, snake gall and fritillaria liquid can be taken. For more phlegm, an oral solution of ammonium bromide hydrochloride can be used. At the same time, it is important to drink plenty of warm water, avoid eating greasy foods, and consume fresh fruits. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
