Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Severe coughing in children, caused by bronchial foreign bodies or allergic coughing, results in intense dry coughing. Medications such as Children's Cough and Asthma Relief Granules or Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide Oral Solution may be used under a doctor's instructions. Diarrhea in children is due to respiratory tract infections, and when accompanied by phlegm production, medications such as Compound Platycodon and Loquat Syrup or Almond Cough Syrup can be administered.
