Question
My child has a cough with some phlegm, and the hospital prescribed Man Shan Bai Granules. Why do I no longer need to take Lan Qin Oral Liquid? Isn’t Lan Qin an antiviral, and Man Shan Bai Granules are for clearing the lungs?
Answer
When the baby has a cough with phlegm again, it is appropriate to use both anti-inflammatory medication and expectorant cough suppressants for treatment. These two types of medications have different properties and can be taken together, as they can both reduce inflammation and help expel phlegm and suppress coughs, which is beneficial for the baby’s recovery.
