Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
If a child's sore throat and cough are caused by tonsillitis, parents can, under a doctor's guidance, administer anti-inflammatory medications such as amoxicillin granules. Additionally, they can use dextromethorphan hydrobromide granules or other cough-relieving medications as auxiliary treatment. If the symptoms are due to a viral cold, antiviral medications such as Shuanghuanglian oral liquid or Banlangen granules may be used for improvement.
