Can children with deep green phlegm cough only take cephalexin?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Can children with green phlegm only take cephalexin?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your child's cough is quite severe, which is likely caused by bronchopneumonia symptoms due to chronic infection. In terms of treatment, you can use drugs like Keke Min, Xianzhuli Oral Liquid, or Children's Cough Syrup, combined with Cephalosporin to control the condition. Maintain a healthy diet and sleep schedule, and have regular follow-up check-ups.
Your condition may be wind-cold cough, which is caused by exposure to wind and cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin and white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, slight fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. You can use Sanao Decoction combined with drugs that reduce Qi and resolve phlegm for treatment.
