Hello, it is possible that the cough appearing in the later stage of a child's cold may be a sign that the cold was not timely controlled and further infection has occurred. Active treatment and regulation are needed. It is recommended to give the child Amoxicillin, oral antiviral liquid, children's cough syrup, and Kesusuting (cough reliever), among others, for active treatment. At the same time, keep the child warm, avoid spicy, raw, cold, irritating foods, greasy or fried foods, and heat-inducing foods. Encourage drinking more boiled water and ensure adequate rest. I hope my response can be helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
