What should I do if the baby has a cold, coughs, and has a runny nose?

Patient's question:

At first, I had a cold, then diarrhea, and now I have a runny nose with coughing, it seems like I have phlegm, coughing occasionally, sweating all over the day. I've been taking the children's cough and phlegm medicine for two days now, but it's not working well. I don't have a fever, and I'm in good spirits.
What kind of help do I need: Should I continue taking this medicine? Can I take an anti-inflammatory antibiotic like cephalexin, and how much? My son weighs 27 pounds. Can I take this with the previous medicine? I don't want to go to the hospital.

Doctor's answer:

The child's condition should be a recurrence of respiratory infection. The main thing is to pay attention to medication and implement symptomatic treatment. The main focus should be on medication and symptomatic treatment to see how it goes. Cephalosporin can be used with focus, and it's also possible to use antiviral medications like Children's Paracetamol and Sulfamethoxazole for symptomatic treatment. If there is phlegm, Mucosolvan can be used, or you can also use Fresh Bamboo Juice for treatment. The only thing left is to prevent the child from getting fever again.
