Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng

If a baby's cough is accompanied by a hoarse or wheezing voice due to an upper respiratory tract infection, medications such as Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution and Cefaclor Granules may be administered under a doctor's guidance. If the cough is caused by bronchitis, anti-inflammatory treatment may include Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Granules according to medical advice. Additionally, timely hospital visits for treatment via nebulization inhalation may be considered as an adjunct therapy.
