Question
The child is one year old and has a cough with phlegm during the day, making a loud ‘hacking’ sound, but is silent at night. The child has previously been given expectorant medication without success. What kind of medication would be more suitable?
Answer
Based on past treatment experiences and outcomes, it is recommended to orally administer Yinhuang granules for treatment. If the blood count is normal, antibiotics can be avoided. If there is a fever, Nimesulide granules can be used for treatment. At the same time, you can try using fresh bamboo juice or ambroxol oral solution to help expel phlegm. Most importantly, make sure to drink plenty of water regularly. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
