What medicine should be used for a two-year-old baby with a cough and a runny nose?

Patient's question:

The doctor's baby is two years old. Last night, he coughed badly. Today, he has a clear runny nose and coughs. Today, he drank 999 Cold Relief Granules. Is it okay to only drink this medicine? Do I need to take any other medicine? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the child developed tracheitis as a result of a cold. It is still recommended to use anti-inflammatory medication, as coughs caused by colds are usually external coughs. External coughs are further divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs. The medications for different types of coughs are completely different, so this needs to be noted. It is also important to drink plenty of warm water and eat a light diet, avoiding spicy, greasy, fried, and extremely cold foods.
