Question
The baby’s cough can be heard with phlegm in the throat, but it can’t be coughed up. The baby has taken Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid and Children’s Cough Syrup and Mucolytic Granules before, and is wondering if this medication is appropriate. If not, what should be taken instead?
Answer
The baby may have bronchitis, and the current medication is appropriate. However, if there is no improvement, consider changing to Pulileke Cough Syrup and Cefixime Granules. If the symptoms have not subsided and are accompanied by fever, vomiting, and other symptoms, it is recommended to have a doctor examine the baby, as a chest X-ray and routine blood test may be needed to rule out the possibility of pneumonia.
