When a child coughs and has some shortness of breath, what medicine should be used?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: A few days ago, I kicked off the blanket while sleeping at night, and now I have a bit of a runny nose and cough. When I cough, I feel a bit short of breath, and I also feel a bit short of breath when I wake up at night. I don't know which medicine to use.

Doctor's answer:

Consider bronchial infection or pneumonia. It is recommended to see a doctor for auscultation and X-ray examination to confirm the diagnosis, and chest X-ray may be necessary for further confirmation. Mild infections can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. For cough or phlegm, Fresh Bamboo Juice Oral Liquid or Children's Mahagan Granules can be taken for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion is recommended. It is also necessary to be alert to mycoplasma infection. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin dry suspension should be used.
