Question
What antibiotics should a child take for a cold and cough?
Answer
Based on the description, the child’s cold and cough have been ongoing for about a week, and there is an inquiry about suitable anti-inflammatory medications. It is recommended to consider giving the child anti-inflammatory medications, such as amoxicillin or cephalosporin drugs, only when there is clear evidence of bacterial infection. The dosage of the medication should be followed as instructed by the doctor. At the same time, ensure the child drinks plenty of warm water and stays warm to avoid exacerbating the condition.
