What kind of medicine should children with cough and nasal congestion take?

Patient's question:

Daughter has a severe cough, and besides the stuffy nose symptoms, what medicine should be taken for children's cough and stuffy nose?

Doctor's answer:

Children with cough and nasal congestion can be treated with many drugs, but we can try to use as many single-agent preparations as possible, such as ribavirin granules, ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution, etc. The dosage and usage of specific drugs should be determined according to medical advice. In home care, it is appropriate to encourage children to drink warm water to prevent catching a cold, and to avoid taking them to crowded or poorly ventilated places.
