Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, the key to treating children's cough is to identify the cause of the cough. Generally, mild and infrequent coughing helps to expel mucus. After the mucus is expelled, the cough often naturally subsides, so there is no need to use cough suppressants. Severe and frequent coughing is very harmful to the body. For severe dry cough, cough suppressants such as codeine syrup can be used for a short period to help alleviate the cough. For children with coughing accompanied by excessive, thick, and difficult-to-expel mucus, cough and mucus-expelling medications should be used, such as Qutangling and Tylenol Cold & Cough Syrup.
