Is it possible that the child has allergic cough? Can they take Claritin?

Coughing in children is a protective respiratory reflex action. Cough is a non-specific symptom of many diseases. Cough is just a symptom, and the occurrence of cough is often due to inflammation in the respiratory tract. Generally, it can be treated with azithromycin and strong loquat syrup.
