Question
What medicine should a child with a cough take?
Answer
Based on your description, your child may have bronchitis or pneumonia, which could be caused by bacterial or mycoplasma infections. To determine the specific cause, it is recommended to bring your child to a local hospital for routine blood tests, chest X-rays, and mycoplasma tests. If it is a bacterial or mycoplasma infection, consider using azithromycin and phenylephrine syrup for treatment. At the same time, it is suggested that your child drink plenty of warm water, maintain a light diet, and avoid eating spicy or irritating food.
