What medicine should children take for dry cough

When children have dry coughs, the medication they take should be based on the type of cough the child has. Some children may have fever symptoms. During treatment, medication must be used under the guidance of a doctor, and parents should not let their children take medication on their own. So let’s take a look at what medicine children should take for dry coughs?

1. It is good to use children's cough syrup <br/>Children's cough syrup can quickly relieve cough and expectorate. When children cough and have phlegm, after taking the medicine, the irritation of phlegm to the upper respiratory tract mucosa can be quickly reduced, thereby greatly alleviating the patient's cough.
2. The effect of using snake gall and Fritillaria cirrhosa liquid is also very good . Snake gall and Fritillaria cirrhosa liquid has the functions of removing phlegm, relieving cough and expelling wind, and can be used to treat the wind-heat cough of patients. If a child suffers from a wind-cold cough, it is not suitable to take such medicine.

3. You can also take cough and cold syrup . Generally speaking, children will produce a lot of phlegm when they cough at night, and dry coughs will also affect their normal sleep. Therefore, taking this medicine under the doctor's advice will improve the child's condition.
4. You can also use children's expectorant cough medicine . If a child has a cough due to bronchitis and expectoration, he can take this medicine to clear away heat and resolve phlegm. However, it should be noted that if the child coughs with fever, yellow sputum with blood, etc., do not take this medicine.
5. Children should not take anti-inflammatory drugs when they cough .<br/>When children cough, some parents give them a few anti-inflammatory drugs first. In fact, this is not correct. Anti-inflammatory drugs are not the same as antibiotics. Anti-inflammatory drugs are antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory drugs, including aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen and many other drugs. Children's cough is caused by viral and bacterial infections in the throat. Do not take anti-inflammatory drugs. Usually, antibiotics and cough and expectorant drugs are used as the main form, and combined with diet therapy.

It can be said that when children have dry coughs, there are really many drugs that can be used, among which cough syrups and other drugs are very effective, and patients should drink more water. When children cough and have a fever, seek medical attention in time.
