Patient's question:
Less coughing, especially severe coughing during the first half of the night, good spirits, good appetite for dinner, and normal urination and defecation. Still light coughing with little phlegm, having recovered from high fever last week, it started about 5 days ago. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took Bingding Granules and Magang Granules...Doctor's answer:
Coughing is always a respiratory symptom caused by inflammation. Advice: It is recommended that the child must receive antibiotic treatment, such as oral amoxicillin or cefixime for about a week. If the cough is not very severe, it is advised not to use lung-cleansing drugs. Instead, consider using herbs with cooling blood effects, such as Chuanbei Xueli Gao, to promote the discharge of phlegm. This will help reduce the severity of cough symptoms. If the cough is severe, short-term use of cough-suppressing drugs like Benzydamine can be considered.
