Cough during chemotherapy can usually be treated with medications under a doctor's guidance, such as ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution or Pulike mixture. During medication treatment, it is important to actively identify the underlying cause and receive targeted therapy based on individual circumstances. If the cough is caused by a respiratory infection, treatments may typically include white blood cell-increasing drugs such as recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
