Now I have a cough and runny nose. What medicine should I take?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if your baby has a cold, we recommend taking them to the hospital as soon as possible to see a pediatrician for diagnosis to determine whether it is caused by a viral infection or a bacterial infection.
Regarding the symptom of coughing, we believe that medication and dietary therapy can both effectively alleviate it. For example, Ling Jia An Honey-cooked Fritillaria and Loquat Paste can provide a refreshing sensation, relieving throat irritation with just one sip. Traditional Chinese medicine, such as Fritillaria and Snow Pear Stew, also helps to reduce phlegm and relieve coughing. You can cut off the top of one pear, hollow out the core, place 10 grams of rock sugar and 6 grams of Fritillaria powder inside, cover it with the top of the pear, and steam it in a steamer until soft. Eat the pear and drink the juice.
Additionally, you should pay attention to giving your baby plenty of water to drink.
