Question
Since three days ago, my child has had a runny nose and cough, which was caused by blowing a fan. For children with phlegm cough in the early stages, expectorant therapy should be initiated first, such as Western medicine containing ammonium bromide or traditional Chinese medicine containing Chuan Bei ingredients. After the phlegm is expelled, the cough will naturally subside. For coughs accompanied by wheezing, it is important to relieve the asthma first before considering cough suppression. The best asthma relief is a cough syrup containing clenbuterol hydrochloride, as simply suppressing the cough can worsen or block the airways. In summary, parents should not self-medicate and should follow the doctor’s advice promptly to avoid delaying the child’s condition. If the child has a cough after a cold and fever, parents should first distinguish between dry cough and wet cough. Dry cough may indicate a slight inflammation in the throat, so it’s important to drink plenty of water; it may improve quickly.
