Answer
Hello, a child’s cough and runny nose are symptoms of an upper respiratory infection, often caused by catching a cold. Treatment should focus on combating the cold. It is recommended to give the child cold medication such as pediatric paracetamol yellow amanum granules, pediatric cold granules, etc. If the cough is quite severe and there is redness and swelling in the throat, it can be combined with anti-inflammatory medication and pediatric lung-clearing and phlegm-thinning granules for treatment. You can also consider using Youkadan and promethazine granules for treatment, or intravenous administration of Bactrim, Qingkailing, Yaxuning, ambroxol. It is advisable to undergo routine blood tests and chest X-rays for accurate diagnosis.
