What should I do if the child has a cold and coughs?

Patient's question:

What should be done if a child has a cold and cough, and what medicine is better to take? The tongue is slightly yellow, and there is low fever. Treatment history and effectiveness: Seen a doctor twice. What kind of help is needed: Is it wind-heat or wind-cold? What medicine should be given?

Doctor's answer:

The most common cause of children's cough is inflammation caused by respiratory infections. Treatment with Azithromycin and Jizhi Tang syrup should be used under the guidance of a doctor. If the condition does not improve, it is recommended to have a few chest X-rays and urine tests to rule out the possibility of pneumonia. Drink more water appropriately, and you can cook snow pears with rock sugar to moisten the lungs and clear the airways. Open the windows frequently to ventilate the room and keep the air fresh, and add humidity to prevent the room from becoming too dry. When the weather is good, you can engage in outdoor activities appropriately.
