What to take for a child’s scratchy throat and cough?

Children with itchy throats and coughs should go to the hospital for blood tests, which need to clarify the cause of the specific cough and itchiness. If it is due to bacterial infection, the child can take oral cefdinir dispersible tablets, with the compound Folcodine solution cough treatment. If the cough is caused by a viral infection, the child needs to be treated with oral anti-inflammatory solution, together with Olomar drops. It may also be related to exposure to certain allergens, and need to take oral anti-allergy drugs to treat, such as montelukast sodium tablets or ebastine tablets. During this period, light food should be eaten.
