When children catch a cold and cough, specific treatments should be based on the causes of the cold and the severity of the cough. If the child's cold results from exposure to cold weather and other similar reasons, and the cough symptoms are not very severe, some home care can be applied. For example, you can have your child drink more warm water, ensure they are dressed warmly, eat a light diet, and get adequate rest. With time, the symptoms of the cold may improve. However, if the child's cold is caused by a bacterial infection and the cough symptoms are severe, it is advisable to visit a formal hospital for relevant examinations. Then, treatment with the appropriate antibiotics should be carried out based on the examination results.
