Question

The 3.5-year-old daughter has been coughing for 3 days and has a sore throat, but there is no fever. She has been taking amoxicillin and throat lozenges prescribed by the doctor, and I am asking whether additional treatment is needed.

Answer

You can continue to take the amoxicillin as prescribed. If there is no phlegm, there is no need to take ambroxol. If the cough is severe, you can take lung-clearing syrup, and it is recommended to use antiviral medications such as Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid. At the same time, drink plenty of water, consume liquid foods, and carefully observe for 3-5 days. I hope my answer can help you! Wishing you health!
