Children hiccup and cough, what medicine should they take?

Patient's question:

A child wakes up in the morning with sneezing and coughing. There is Asanfen Huangna Ming Granules and Banlangen Granules at home. How should they be taken? The child is 8 months old. Previously, they had upper respiratory infection and tonsillitis, which were treated and cured in the hospital. It has been about 20 days. What medicine should be taken and what is the dosage?

Doctor's answer:

Friends do not exclude tonsillitis. It is a disease caused by bacteria and can be divided into acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis. Symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, sudden loud noises, a sensation of a foreign body in the throat, and coughing are among the clinical manifestations of tonsillitis. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for tonsillitis primarily involves herbs that clear heat, reduce toxicity, and soothe the throat. These are effective for general and initial symptoms of tonsillitis, but for chronic tonsillitis, the use of many antibiotics is still necessary. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and do not self-medicate to avoid delaying the condition.
