Question
My child is six and a half years old and has been suffering from a dry cough of unknown cause recently, especially worse at night. Although we have given him cough syrup, there has been no improvement. I would like to ask experts for some good suggestions. Thank you very much!
Answer
Hello, cough symptoms may occur after a cold, which is due to inflammation irritation. If the cough persists for a long time, it may be necessary to consider bronchitis, and anti-inflammatory medications should be used to control the infection and help expectorate and stop the cough. Currently, it is recommended to use “Children’s Lung Heat Cough Syrup,” which can clear heat, moisten the lungs, stop coughing, and resolve phlegm. It is suitable for symptoms such as fever, sweating, slight aversion to cold, cough, yellow sputum, or accompanied by wheezing and dry mouth caused by invasion of heat into the lungs. The dosage is: 1-3 years old, one vial per time, three times a day; 4-7 years old, one vial per time, four times a day; 8-12 years old, two vials per time, three times a day.
