What medicines do children take for respiratory infections

Children’s respiratory infections such as influenza virus can be treated with oral antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir, bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics such as cefixime, and fever over 38.5 degrees can be treated with oral antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as ibuprofen. Drugs need to be applied under the guidance of a doctor. 1. Viral infection. If caused by common viral infections such as rhinovirus, it is a self-limiting disease and can be treated without oral medication; if caused by influenza virus, it can be treated with oral antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir phosphate. 2. Bacterial infection. If children’s respiratory tract infections are caused by bacterial infections such as Streptococcus pneumoniae or secondary bacterial infections after viral infections, antibiotics such as cefixime should be chosen for treatment. 3. Symptomatic medication. If a temperature of more than 38.5 degrees occurs, oral paracetamol and ibuprofen can be used for treatment. After children’s respiratory tract infection, drugs need to be applied under the guidance of doctors, and pay attention to rest, diligent ventilation, and drink more water.
