What to take for respiratory infections and coughs

Respiratory infections and coughs may require treatment of the cause as well as symptomatic treatment such as stopping the cough or resolving the phlegm. 1. Treatment of the cause: For example, bacterial respiratory infections are usually treated with antibiotics such as cefixime; Mycoplasma infections, for example, may need to be treated with drugs such as moxifloxacin. 2. Symptomatic treatment: for those who simply cough, cough suppressants can be used, such as phenproperine, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, etc. For those who cough with obvious phlegm, phlegm transforming drugs, such as eucalyptus-pinocampus enteric soft capsule or aminobromine hydrochloride, etc., are usually needed. Therefore, patients with respiratory infections and coughs need to seek medical attention and individualized treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
