Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I always can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How should I handle a baby with a cold, cough, and phlegm in their throat?Doctor's answer:
Regarding adjustments for rest, diet, indoor temperature, humidity, etc., please refer to "Upper Respiratory Infection." Infants should be frequently repositioned to facilitate the easy expulsion of respiratory secretions. When frequent coughing interferes with rest, cough suppressants can be administered, but it should be avoided to prevent excessive medication that inhibits the coughing out of secretions. When acute bronchitis causes spasm leading to difficulty breathing, mild cases can refer to the Chinese medical treatment for "Excess-Heat Asthma," while severe cases should refer to the treatment for capillary bronchitis and bronchial asthma.
