How to use a cough relief patch for severe cough in children?

Answer

When a child experiences a severe cough, it’s advisable to have a doctor conduct a physical examination and imaging tests to confirm whether it is bronchitis or pneumonia. If the condition is mild, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, along with fresh bamboo decoction or children’s Mahan Gan Granules to relieve cough and phlegm. In severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy may be required. For infants, using a cough relief patch can be an auxiliary treatment method, but it is crucial to first diagnose the cause and follow the doctor’s orders.
