Question
My child has been coughing for two days now. I have given him cefaclor and pediatric cough syrup, as well as lozenges to relieve throat irritation. He didn’t cough yesterday, but he started coughing again last night. Can I give him the silver and gold oral liquid to drink?
Answer
The child’s condition may be caused by an acute upper respiratory infection, with symptoms including coughing, expectoration, sore throat, and fever. It is recommended to take the following measures: ensure adequate rest and drink plenty of water; take antiviral oral liquid and azithromycin dispersible tablets, as well as pediatric paracetamol yellow nanoparticles to relieve symptoms; if there is a fever, you can take antipyretic medication or seek intravenous treatment at a hospital. I hope your child recovers soon.
