Patient's question:
Symptom Description: It might be due to air conditioning, experiencing a bit of clear nasal discharge every morning, slight cough, not severe.Past Treatment and Effect: Haven't gone to the hospital for treatment.
Help Needed: Wondering if medication is necessary? At home, we have Cefpodoxime Proxetil Powder for Suspension and Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules. Is it necessary to visit the hospital? Since we live a bit far from the hospital, if medication is an option, it would be best.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of cough and runny nose in children are signs of upper respiratory tract infection, which are mostly caused by catching a cold. The main treatment should focus on cold relief.Suggestions: It is recommended to give the child cold medicine such as Eriactin Granules for Children, Cold Relief Granules for Children, etc. If the cough is severe and the throat is swollen and red, you can combine it with anti-inflammatory drugs and Phlegm-Expelling Granules for Children. You can also use Youkadan and Promethazine Granules for treatment, or intravenous drip with Bactrim, Qingkailing, and Yayuning, as well as Ambroxol. It is advisable to have a blood test and chest X-ray for a definitive diagnosis.
