Doctor's answer:

Coughing and runny nose are caused by upper respiratory infections. Antiviral drugs should be used for timely treatment to prevent the occurrence of bronchopneumonia. Azithromycin or cephalosporins can be used to control the infection. Antiviral oral liquid can be taken for antiviral treatment. Inhalation therapy can also be performed to moisten the respiratory tract and reduce the production of mucus in the airways. Cough syrup can be given to the baby, such as the Lo Han Pekoe Cough Syrup from Kowloon Tong. It is recommended to drink as much warm water as possible for the baby. If the cold is severe, children's paracetamol and chlorpheniramine tablets may also be needed.
