Children with tracheobronchitis and cough can take antibiotic medications under a doctor's guidance to control inflammation. Commonly used drugs include amoxicillin and cefuroxime. If symptoms are severe and oral medications are ineffective, nebulized therapy may be used. Commonly used nebulized medications include salbutamol and budesonide.
