Question
What medication should I give my two-and-a-half-year-old child who is coughing and has phlegm?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis. It is recommended to consider administering cefpodoxime proxetil granules, roxithromycin granules, and other medications like ammonium chloride oral solution and children’s cold syrup for treatment. Generally, these medications should be effective quickly. If the symptoms continue or worsen, it is advisable to take the child to see a doctor promptly.
