Question
My child is a 2-year-old girl, and she has always been weak. She caught a cold and started coughing heavily last night after sleeping during the day. I would like to consult, which cough medicine for children is the best? Can a 2-year-old child drink Shuanghuang Oral Liquid when they have a cold and cough?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your child has a cold with a cough. This is a common pediatric condition. Generally, it is caused by viral infection. Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid can be taken orally. I suggest you also give your child a medicine that helps to thin and expel mucus for cough relief. Over the next few days, make sure your child drinks plenty of water and gets adequate rest, avoiding excessive play and fatigue. Observe the effectiveness of the treatment. If the symptoms do not improve, it would be advisable to take your child to the pediatric department of a hospital for a detailed examination.
