Amoxicillin is generally not recommended for the treatment of dry cough at night in children, and its use as an anti-infective may be considered if there is clear evidence of bacterial infection, and the medication should be used as prescribed by a doctor.
Dry cough at night in children is often seen in respiratory diseases, but dry cough is usually rare in bacterial infections, and is more common in colds and pharyngitis caused by viral infections, or other chronic airway inflammation such as asthma and chronic bronchitis. Coughs from bacterial infections are usually accompanied by coughing up phlegm and thick sputum.
Amoxicillin is an antibiotic used for infectious diseases caused by sensitive bacteria, such as respiratory infections, but does not treat viral infections or non-infectious inflammation, so amoxicillin is not recommended for children with a dry cough at night.
However, if the dry cough has clear evidence of bacterial infection, such as routine blood tests, ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein and other tests suggest the presence of bacterial infection, then you can consider the use of amoxicillin treatment.
Amoxicillin is contraindicated in people who are allergic to penicillin. Adverse reactions can be seen nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, drug fever and so on. The medication should be used appropriately and in accordance with medical advice.
Children with dry cough at night are advised to go to the hospital in time for early and regular treatment.
