Question

My child has recently had a cold with coughing. What medication can I give them?

Answer

Based on your description, your child may be suffering from a cold with accompanying cough symptoms. It is suggested to give your child some antibiotic medications such as Cefaclor, as well as some traditional Chinese medicine like pediatric Lung-Clearing and Phlegm-Resolving Granules to treat the cough and cold symptoms. Additionally, ensuring your child drinks plenty of water can help accelerate their recovery. There are many causes of pediatric respiratory diseases. If your child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, while also managing gastrointestinal pressure and developing good hygiene habits. Parents should also be mindful not to let their children develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
