Coughing with a sore throat is a relatively common respiratory symptom, mostly related to viral infections. Many children have had a cough with a sore throat, especially at night before they go to bed. So, what medications work well for children with a sore throat cough? When children have a sore throat, they can be treated with medicines such as Niuhuang detoxification tablets, licorice combination tablets or Sanhuang tablets, and with oral medicines such as grass coral tablets and Golden Voice Throat. At the same time, parents must urge their children to drink more plain water, or brew Pan Lan Gen and Xia Sang Ju granules, or use Chinese medicines to clear heat and detoxify the body, such as Pu Di Lian Oral Liquid and Black Bean Granules. Also eat less spicy and puffed food, which can eliminate the discomfort such as sore throat. If the fever is accompanied by a sore throat, you can take orally or take licorice combination tablets, but the taste is heavy when you take it, so if children can’t stand it, you can also use loquat candy, which tastes cool and soothing in the mouth and can effectively clear the throat and moisten it. If there is phlegm, it should be a bacterial infection, you can take antibiotics, if there is no phlegm or clear phlegm, it may be a viral infection, you can use Chinese medicine such as Shuang Huang Lian. If the pain is severe, you can also take some throat tablets or Golden Voice Throat to relieve the pain temporarily. If your child has a cough and sore throat for a long time and the medicine does not work, or even if the cough and sore throat gets worse after taking the medicine, you should take your child to the hospital as soon as possible for a checkup.
