Question
What should be done if a child has a dry cough without fever?
Answer
Hello, generally speaking, medication and dietary treatments can effectively alleviate a child’s cough. For instance, you can try the Nianci Honey Cooked Suanbei Pipayao, which provides a cool and soothing sensation and relieves the throat itching! Chinese medicine like Suanbei Stewed Pear can also help with expectoration and cough relief. You can use 1 pear, cut off the top as a lid, hollow out the core, add 10 grams of rock sugar and 6 grams of Suanbei powder, cover the pear lid, place in a bowl, steam until tender, and eat the pear and drink the juice. Additionally, make sure your child drinks plenty of water. For mild coughs, you can administer oral Cough Clear (25mg, three times a day) or Fenbufalin (20-40mg, three times a day) or Dextromethorphan (15-30mg, three times a day).
