What medicine should a child take when they have hiccups, cough, runny nose, and fever?

Patient's question:

The child had a fever of 37.2°C on the evening of the 24th, and I gave them something to drink. By morning, the fever was gone. On the afternoon of the 25th, he said his head hurts, and when I checked his temperature, it was 38°C. I gave him Zheng Chuhuyin Granules. This morning, he's still a bit warm. I want to ask the doctor what medicine the child should take. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

It is believed that the baby developed an upper respiratory tract infection after catching a cold, leading to a weakened immune system and the entry of bacteria or viruses into the body. The clinical symptoms include fever, runny nose, hiccups, coughing, and phlegm. I recommend giving the baby oral roxithromycin granules and ambroxol tablets, encouraging them to drink plenty of warm water, and using physical cooling methods. It is also advised to pay close attention to the baby, ensure they drink warm water, engage in more activities to strengthen their constitution, and get more sun exposure to boost their immunity.
