​What syrup is good for children with cough?

Generally speaking, children cough because of pediatric bronchitis. In this case, it is not recommended for children to take cough syrup, because the syrups currently used to treat children's coughs contain some substances that will cause discomfort to the child's body. It is recommended to use diet therapy for treatment, which is stable and harmless.

1. Pediatric phlegm-resolving and cough-relieving granules (Haowawa) can be used to treat cough and sputum caused by bronchitis in children.

2. Xiaoer Xuanfei Zhike Granules have the effects of clearing away lung qi, relieving exterior symptoms, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm.

3. Because it is for babies, the dosage form should be an easily absorbed oral syrup. Snake Gall and Fritillaria Liquid is a medicine used by many parents to treat cough for babies. It is more effective when combined with stewed pears. However, for common coughs, the main focus should be on expectoration. Do not simply use cough suppressants, and do not take excessive amounts of cough syrup.

At present, most of the children's cough syrups produced in my country contain ephedrine hydrochloride, platycodon fluid extract, ammonium chloride, phenobarbital and other drug ingredients. Excessive intake will have adverse effects: especially excessive intake of ephedrine hydrochloride will cause babies to experience poisoning reactions such as dizziness, vomiting, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, irritability and even shock.

Therefore, do not abuse cough syrup for your baby, otherwise it will be harmful to your baby's health. Parents should give their babies medicine according to the doctor's instructions.
