Question
Can children use other medications after stopping their medication for a week?
Answer
Children’s cough does not necessarily require antibiotics; the main reasons are incomplete lung development and low immunity, as well as changes in weather causing dry and cold conditions. In such cases, it is not necessary to use excessive antibiotics. It is recommended to use some blood-cooling drugs such as Xian Zhu Li oral liquid, Qiu Nu Yao, Jingdu Yanzhi An, etc. for cough and expectorant medication. At the same time, encourage the child to drink more water and engage in appropriate outdoor activities, and pay attention to keeping warm. In terms of diet, it is appropriate to increase nutrition without over-nourishment.
