Coughs caused by colds in children are categorized into symptomatic treatments such as anti-infective treatments and symptomatic treatments such as phlegm and cough suppressant treatments, etc. Most of them are treated with general treatments and medications. 1. Treatment: Colds are often caused by viruses, and generally do not require special treatment with antiviral drugs. If it is combined with bacterial infection, antibacterial drugs such as cefixime and amoxicillin should be used as prescribed by the doctor; if it is caused by influenza virus, antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir can be applied. 2. Symptomatic treatment: no medication is needed when the cough symptoms are mild, pay attention to drink more water, rest, and keep the air in the room unobstructed, and the general symptoms can be improved. If the symptoms are severe, cough suppressants such as pediatric cough syrup can be given, and sputum removing drugs such as Ambroxol can be given when sputum is not easy to cough up. If fever is present, physical cooling such as warm water wiping can be used. If the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius or if there are obvious symptoms of discomfort, antipyretic drugs such as acetaminophen can be given. Children with a cough after a cold are advised to go to the hospital in a timely manner, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
