For severe cough caused by acute laryngitis in children, medications such as Puli Ke Mixture or Ji Zhi Syrup may be taken under a doctor's guidance to relieve coughing. It is also necessary to identify the specific cause of the acute laryngitis through relevant examinations. If it is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics such as amoxicillin granules should be taken as prescribed by a doctor.
