Child 13 years old, has had a dry cough for a week. What medicine is it?
Drug treatment of dry cough is a defensive reflex activity when the respiratory system is stimulated. Mild cough is beneficial to expectoration, and antitussive drugs are generally not needed, but severe cough, especially severe dry cough without phlegm, will affect rest and sleep, and even aggravate the condition or cause other complications, which is not good for treatment. At this time, antitussive drugs should be added while treating the cause. Cough without phlegm or less phlegm is called dry cough, which is common in acute pharyngitis, early acute tracheitis, pleurisy and mild tuberculosis. At present, the drugs for treating dry cough on the market include Kebiqing, Ke Mei syrup, Kekuaihao, and compound licorice tablets. Although they are all antitussive drugs, their pharmacological effects are different, so the selection of drugs for different diseases is also different. According to this principle, dry cough in autumn is due to the fact that the lungs in the five internal organs belong to water, which is most susceptible to fire and makes the lungs dry. At this time, don't be busy taking anti-inflammatory drugs, and eat "Qingkailing" to clear away heat and detoxify. Qingkailing is mainly composed of mother-of-pearl, gardenia, buffalo horn, isatis root, scutellaria root, golden flower and other traditional Chinese medicines. ! ! get well soon
