Hello, the effects of cough-relieving and phlegm-reducing medications are generally similar, and there is no single best option. You may administer children's cough syrup to alleviate symptoms. It is important to enhance care by giving the child plenty of water to stay hydrated, maintaining a moderate indoor temperature with good air circulation, ensuring adequate rest without staying up late during the cold, and moderately improving nutrition by consuming more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and boost immunity. Avoid eating spicy or irritating foods, and wear a mask when going outdoors. I hope the above advice is helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
