Children with bronchitis and cough may take antitussive medications, such as ambroxol oral solution or cough syrup. Bronchitis is primarily caused by viral infection; therefore, adequate rest is essential during treatment. Maintain a comfortable room temperature and ensure regular ventilation by opening windows, which facilitates recovery. Drinking plenty of water helps accelerate metabolism.
