Question
What medication can children with allergic cough take?
Answer
It is recommended for children with cough to take antibiotics such as erythromycin or azithromycin, combined with Qingguo Zhoushuan pills, under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine like Chuanbei Stewed Pear can be very helpful for the child’s recovery. It is important to ensure the child drinks plenty of water and to keep them well-warmed to avoid catching a cold. Persistent dry heaves may be a sign that the baby is signaling discomfort to the parents. The phenomenon of dry heaves can occur from a few days after birth to several years of age. Occasional dry heaves are relatively normal, but if the frequency exceeds four times a day or it persists for one or two weeks, parents should be vigilant and it is best to take the child to the hospital for treatment.
