How should children's cough be treated?

Patient's question:

The child is 9 years old and often coughs, unable to sleep at night. They have seen a doctor at Jinan Guoyintang Hospital.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your baby's cough with phlegm is likely a symptom of bronchitis caused by a cold. You can use children's cough syrup, Bromhexine combined with Azithromycin or Amoxicillin for antibacterial treatment. You can also give your baby some rock sugar pear juice or stewed pear with Fritillaria cirrhosa for relieving cough and phlegm, which is quite effective.
Make sure to drink plenty of water and keep your baby warm to prevent catching a cold. There are many reasons that can cause respiratory issues in children. If your child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
