What medication should I take for an itchy throat and cough?

When experiencing an itchy throat and cough, appropriate medications can be selected based on the underlying cause. The following are commonly used medications and their functions: 1. **Antiallergic medications**: If the itchy throat and cough are caused by allergies, antiallergic drugs such as loratadine and cetirizine can be taken to relieve allergic symptoms. 2. **Antibiotics**: If cough is accompanied by bacterial infection, antibiotics such as amoxicillin capsules and roxithromycin capsules may be used to reduce inflammation. 3. **Antitussive and expectorant medications**: For cough symptoms, antitussive and expectorant medications such as compound licorice tablets and ambroxol hydrochloride and clenbuterol oral solution can be used to alleviate coughing and promote mucus expulsion. 4. **Traditional Chinese patent medicines**: Traditional Chinese medicines such as Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Tablets and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid are also commonly used to treat itchy throat and cough. These medications have effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as anti-inflammatory and swelling reduction. All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a physician to avoid self-medication or improper drug use.
