Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
A child's cough with a hoarse voice may be caused by acute laryngitis or a decline in their own immunity, or it could be due to chronic bronchitis. If it is caused by acute laryngitis, anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered under a doctor's guidance, such as taking medications like Cefaclor granules or Amoxicillin granules. If the cause is chronic bronchitis, medications like Salbutamol aerosol may be used as directed by a physician to alleviate symptoms.
