Question
What medication is best for a child’s dry cough?
Answer
Dry coughs can be caused by inhaling cool air or due to persistent fever. Xianli Su is a cephalosporin drug, and when its effects are not apparent, it may be considered to switch to macrolide antibiotics such as Roxithromycin or Azithromycin, or fluoroquinolones like Levofloxacin or Gatifloxacin. At the same time, it is important to ensure adequate rest and hydration to prevent fatigue. For more severe cases, consider intramuscular or intravenous injections, and prevent fever. It is recommended to consult a doctor to choose the appropriate treatment plan based on the child’s specific condition.
