Coughing, sneezing, and a runny nose in children are all symptoms of a common cold. Drinking more water can help thin the mucus, promote its expulsion, and alleviate cold symptoms. Pediatric Ammonium Chloride and Chlorpheniramine Maleate Granules may be taken, which can help relieve nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose caused by the common cold. For symptoms of coughing and phlegm, oral Compound Liquorice Tablets or Ji Zhi Syrup may be used for treatment, and pediatric massage therapy can also be considered.
