Children's cough can be treated with appropriate methods based on their specific conditions. If the cough is triggered by cold air, it is generally recommended to maintain room temperature between 25–27°C and wear a scarf or mask outdoors to reduce exposure to cold air. Additionally, if the cough is caused by allergies, antiallergic medications may be used as directed by a physician to relieve cough symptoms.
