Patient's question:
Cough, dry heave, slightly stuffy nose with a little nasal mucus.......History of previous treatment and effectiveness: The baby has started to have a light cough for a few sounds, later took children's lung clearing syrup and cefixime, had phlegm and diarrhea, took medicine for a day and stopped now, still coughing and vomiting, dry heave only vomited a little milk once.
What kind of help is desired: Quick explanation urgently
Doctor's answer:
1. Elevate the baby's head at night.2. Drinking warm fluids can make the baby's mucus thinner. It's best for the baby to drink warm water, warm milk, or rice soup. Fresh juice can also be given to the baby, but it's better to choose less irritating juices like apple juice and pear juice. Avoid citrus juices such as orange juice and grapefruit juice.
3. Steam inhalation to clear the lungs. If the baby has severe coughing, steam can be inhaled. Alternatively, hold the baby in a steamy bathroom for 5 minutes. The moist air helps the baby clear the mucus from the lungs and calm the cough.
