When a child experiences coughing and fever, medication treatment can be administered. These symptoms are usually caused by pneumonia, and under a doctor's guidance, parents can give their child antibiotics such as amoxicillin granules. Additionally, cough-relieving medications and antipyretics like Loquat Cough Syrup with Fritillaria and ibuprofen suspension can be used as adjunctive treatments to promote recovery from the illness.
