Question
What medication should a child take for dry stool, heat, and cough?
Answer
Considering the possibility of bronchial infection or pneumonia, it is recommended to consult a doctor for auscultation and imaging examinations, and to take X-rays for detailed examination if necessary. For mild infections, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken. For cough or phlegm, fresh bamboo decoction or pediatric Mahan Gan Granules can be used. To relieve constipation, you can drink vegetable juice or orange juice with sugar, tomato juice, stewed hawthorn or red dates water. You can also take pediatric Qizhen pills as an auxiliary treatment.
