Patient's question:
What medicine is good for a baby with cough, phlegm, and runny nose?Previous treatment and effectiveness: The hospital prescribed Huanglong Cough Suppressant Granules and Cefdinir Suspension.
What kind of help do you want: Are there any other medicines that are more effective than these?
Doctor's answer:
As much as possible, avoid inhaling irritating gases such as cigarette smoke, coal gas, car exhaust, and gases like ammonia and chlorine. If cold air triggers coughing, wear a mask to prevent inhaling cold air. Since the symptoms are caused by a respiratory infection, recurring coughing is often due to inflammation in the respiratory tract. Simply taking some lung-cleansing medications is not effective, as it only addresses the symptoms without treating the root cause. Generally, antibiotics like azithromycin and strong loquat syrup can be used for treatment.
