Help needed:

Doctor's answer:
Children in this condition are usually caused by catching a cold or respiratory infections. If the situation is severe, it is not ruled out that it could be due to lung heat. You can use medications like Azithromycin Granules and Cepacol to treat it. If you also use external medications such as Yiqi Patch and Yitaining, the effect will be even better.Make sure to give your child plenty of water and pay close attention to keeping them warm to avoid catching a cold, which can lead to coughing. The cause of the cough is likely inflammation in the lungs or throat. It is recommended that you take your child to the pediatric department of a hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be based on the diagnosis. If intravenous fluids are not effective, it may not be the correct treatment. Switch to other medications promptly to avoid the risk of pneumonia! Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
