Children with pharyngitis and persistent cough should be treated with medication. First, promptly administer traditional Chinese medicines that clear heat, detoxify, and soothe the throat, such as Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid or Lanqin Oral Liquid. Drinking warm water can also help alleviate throat inflammation in children. Additionally, for severe cough caused by pharyngitis, nebulized therapies using budesonide, terbutaline, or ipratropium bromide (e.g., Atrovent) may be used.
