How should I handle coughing in a 100-day-old baby?

Patient's question:

My friend's baby is almost 100 days old. It started coughing more than 10 days ago. Worried, they have tried three different medications without any improvement. Is this a serious problem, or is it just that coughing takes a long time to get better?

Doctor's answer:

Upper respiratory tract infection, the younger the baby, the weaker their resistance. If the cough is severe, be careful that the condition may worsen. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
