Question
The child has been coughing with phlegm and a runny nose, doesn’t want to eat dinner and only drinks soup after three days of shots.
Answer
If the child is coughing with phlegm, it’s important to consider upper respiratory infections or bronchitis. Different brands of medicine may have varying effects. It’s recommended to add some antiviral medication (such as antiviral granules, silver and honeysuckle granules, etc.) and a moderate amount of antibiotics (e.g., cefaclor, Zhaolin, etc.). The Kekai brand pediatric lung-clearing syrup and Auster’s lung-clearing expectorant are both quite effective. Pay attention to giving the child plenty of water.
