Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
If a child's cough is severe and caused by allergies, parents can, under a doctor's guidance, administer medications such as montelukast sodium chewable tablets to the child, while also using antiallergic drugs as adjunctive treatment, for example, levocetirizine hydrochloride oral solution. If the cough is due to pneumonia, antibiotic medications along with cough-relieving medications can be used, such as cefixime granules and Chuanbei Pipalu (Fritillaria and Loquat syrup). However, please note that infants must be at least 6 months old before using cefixime granules.
