How to properly handle occasional coughing in children?

Patient's question:

The baby hasn't been a month old for long, occasionally coughing, stuffy nose, and intermittent fever. Even after taking cold syrup, there's no relief. Please help me guess what might be going on and how to solve it.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, if the body temperature drops, you should go to the hospital to have a blood test and check C-reactive protein. Let the doctor perform a physical examination and, if necessary, take a chest X-ray. Based on the test results and the condition of the chest X-ray, decide whether medication is needed. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby coughs occasionally after just a few weeks?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
