Medication typically leads to faster recovery. At this time, it is appropriate to supplement with some fluids. For mild coughing, medication is not necessary; you may try pear and rock sugar decoction to relieve cough and resolve phlegm, or drink water infused with monk fruit, which also helps resolve phlegm. Additionally, honeysuckle granules may be taken orally to reduce inflammation and clear heat. If the child develops a fever, medical evaluation at a hospital is recommended for appropriate diagnostic testing.
