Question
What medication should an 11-year-old take for a cough? The child has had past cases of organ inflammation-induced coughing, and I would like to inquire about the treatment options.
Answer
The doctor recommends that an 11-year-old with coughing symptoms may be suffering from organ inflammation. Guava sugar or soluble aspirin can be considered for treatment, as these medications can help alleviate coughing and inflammation. Additionally, it is advised to drink warm water more often, ensure adequate sleep, avoid overwork, and eat less fried, barbecued meat, spicy, and other stimulating foods. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables and consuming enough vitamins can also help the body recover.
