Patient's question:
Less coughing, especially severe coughing during the first half of the night, good spirits, good appetite for dinner, and normal urination and defecation. Still light coughing with little phlegm, which started improving after having a high fever last week. It has been going on for 5 days. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took Bingding Granules and Magan Granules...Doctor's answer:
Coughing is always a respiratory symptom caused by inflammation. Suggestions: It is recommended that the child must receive antibiotic treatment, such as oral amoxicillin or cefixime for about a week. If the cough is not severe, it is advised not to use lung-cleansing medications. Instead, consider using blood-cooling medications like Chuanbei Xueli Gao, which can help promote the discharge of phlegm. This will be beneficial in reducing cough symptoms. If the cough is severe, short-term use of cough-suppressing medications like Benfengpiling can be considered.
