Question

My son has a cough, and I’m unsure whether to choose Cefradine Capsules, Erythromycin Tablets, or Amoxicillin. How should I choose?

Answer

Cough can be a symptom of various illnesses, so it is recommended to first visit a hospital to confirm the cause of the illness and not to self-medicate. At the same time, it is important to differentiate between common cough and cough variant asthma to avoid misdiagnosis. When treating cough, choose Western or Chinese medicine based on the type of cough, and also consider dietary methods under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
