Doctor's answer:

What kind of medicine is good for a child's dry cough? It is acute bronchitis. For this season, inhaling cold air can cause it, or it may be due to unresolved fever. Xianlisi belongs to the cephalosporin class, and if it is not effective, you can switch to macrolides such as Azithromycin or Clarithromycin. Quinolone drugs like Levofloxacin and Gatifloxacin should also be used. Rest more, drink more water, and avoid fatigue.
Recommendation: For more severe cases, intramuscular or intravenous injections can be used to prevent fever. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
