What medications are good for a baby with dry cough and no phlegm?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I always can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What kind of medicine is good for a baby with dry cough and no phlegm?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be a wind-cold cold with coughing, which is caused by exposure to wind-cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale red tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, slight fever, and in severe cases, shortness of breath. It can be treated with San Yao Tang plus herbs that lower Qi and resolve phlegm. Considering it might be a cold, you can take cephalexin. Drinking plenty of warm water and keeping warm is very important. If necessary, intravenous administration of cephalexin can be used for treatment.
