5-year-old child with a sore throat and fever, what medicine should they take?

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 5 years old
Returned from kindergarten yesterday with a high fever of 39.5°C. After taking ibuprofen granules and cold medicine capsules for one hour, the fever dropped to 38.5°C. At 10 PM that night, she took medicine again, and the fever subsided at 1 AM. In the morning, the fever returned to 38.7°C, accompanied by a sore throat without phlegm.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the cough with phlegm in your baby is likely a symptom of bronchitis caused by a cold. You can use children's cough syrup, children's lung heat cough and asthma oral liquid, combined with antibiotics such as azithromycin or amoxicillin for treatment. You can also give your baby some rock sugar pear juice or stewed snow pears with Fritillaria, which can also be quite effective in relieving cough with phlegm. Make sure to drink plenty of water, keep warm, and avoid catching a cold.
