What medicine is effective for children's cough?

Patient's question:

Nasal discharge, cough, poor appetite, illness for 3 days, possibly due to unpredictable weather changes and some catching a cold. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took several days of cold medicine, including Xiao'er Amin Huangna Granules, Ribavirin, and Hydrochloric Aminobrom Oral Solution. What kind of assistance is needed: Use...

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is caused by a viral infection, manifesting as cough, runny nose, and high fever. However, for each baby, additional careful examinations are necessary, such as blood tests and chest X-rays during coughing, so that the doctor can prescribe medication more effectively.
Recommendation: Your baby has had the condition for 3 days now, and there is still some coughing. If there is no high fever, it indicates that the condition is being suppressed. Personally, during clinical diagnosis, I tend to avoid using cough remedies like Sanjing Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Kuiflowers Children's Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid, and Jinye Syrup, but the specific situation should be considered based on the condition.
In terms of care, the baby should drink more water, maintain a light diet, and get adequate rest. Fruits like pears can be consumed more frequently.
