What are the cough medicines for children?

The weather now is in a transitional period. It is very cold in winter and hot in spring. The seasons of sudden changes in temperature will cause changes to the human body. Many children cannot resist the cold and fever because of their low body resistance. In severe cases, the cough is more obvious. Children's cough will easily lead to pneumonia, which will be difficult to cure. As parents, we should pay attention to the baby's diet. The diet should be light during the coughing period, and drink more soups and water.
