Patient's question:
What medicine should children with cough and phlegm in their throats take?Doctor's answer:
I don't know if you've checked the chest X-ray to see if there's an infection in the lungs. If there is an infection, antibiotics must be taken for the full course. If there's no infection and no fever, you can take some traditional Chinese medicine, such as Darentang Qingfei Xiaoyan Wan.It is recommended to take Darentang Qingfei Xiaoyan Wan. This medicine has the functions of clearing the lungs, resolving phlegm, stopping cough, and calming wheezing. It can be used to treat upper respiratory infections, acute bronchitis, and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. It can also relieve symptoms such as phlegm-heat obstructing the lungs, cough with wheezing, chest and hypochondriac pain, and yellow, thick phlegm.
Additionally, you should drink more water, eat a light diet, avoid fried foods and spicy foods, and avoid exposure to dust and smoke. Open the windows frequently to ensure good ventilation.
