Question
My child has been coughing and has a runny nose for two or three days. What are some effective treatment methods?
Answer
Coughing and a runny nose in children may be caused by respiratory inflammation due to infection. It is recommended to use antibiotics such as amoxicillin or cefaclor, as well as some lung-cleaning traditional Chinese medicine like Xiao’er Maigan or Xiao’er Qingfei syrup. At the same time, pay attention to keeping warm to prevent the condition from worsening.
