Patient's question:
Is Aotesu Compound Furacillin Oral Solution and Sike Lao Cefixime Granules Suspension good for treating infant cough and phlegm?Doctor's answer:
Compound Pholcodine Oral Solution contains Pholcodine (central antitussive), Chlorpheniramine Hydrochloride (antihistamine to reduce respiratory sensitivity), Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (constricts capillaries in the upper respiratory tract, eliminates mucosal congestion, and alleviates symptoms), Guaifenesin (mucolytic), and Aconitum Root Tincture and Polygala Tincture (Chinese herbal mucolytics). Such a formula is not very suitable for the early stage of the illness, with excessive phlegm and coughing. In my opinion, Pholcodine has a strong central antitussive effect, and inhibiting the cough reflex may make it difficult to cough up phlegm. In the early stage of the illness, anti-inflammatory and phlegm-removing treatment should be the priority.
