Children with wind-heat感冒 can take medications that clear heat and relieve symptoms under a doctor's guidance. Commonly used medications include Honeysuckle Granules and Pudi Lan Granules. If symptoms of coughing with phlegm are present, this usually indicates a bacterial infection, and antibiotics such as Cefaclor Granules or Cefixime Granules may be used as directed by a physician. However, please note that Cefixime Granules should only be administered to infants aged 6 months or older.
