If you have a sore throat or cough, you should take Chinese anti-inflammatory medicine at the beginning, which is more effective. Because viral infections are more common in the early stage of sore throat, you can take oral medicine such as Ganghuang Bingmei Tablets, Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid or Blue Scutellaria Oral Liquid, which are more effective. In the later stage of sore throat and cough, or if the blood test reveals elevated white blood cells, it means combined bacterial infection, you can take oral antibiotics for treatment, such as cefixime, cefaclor, cefradine or cefadroxil, cefadroxil or cefadroxil. If there is a cephalosporin allergy, adults can take levofloxacin, and in children, azithromycin can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment, both with relatively fast results. For cough symptoms, you should also use cough and phlegm medicines that can promote recovery from cough, such as lung power cough combination.
