Question
What are the causes of a child’s cough with phlegm?
Answer
A child’s cough with phlegm may be caused by a cold or other respiratory infection. Under a doctor’s guidance, roxithromycin and licorice tablets have already been used, along with a doctor-prescribed pink granule medication, and the condition has improved, but has not yet fully recovered, and the child is still coughing. The child has been taking medication under a doctor’s guidance for five days, and we hope to seek other effective medications as well as daily protective measures for the body.
