Patient's question:
Occasionally hiccups (I used to have them too) without fever, everything else is fine. Coughing for 4 days now, the first 2 days I coughed 4-5 times a day, it felt like choking while changing diapers. I am breastfeeding, after readjusting the diaper-changing position, I don't cough while feeding, but I still cough when lying down...Doctor's answer:
From your description, the child's cough is caused by catching a cold and fever, not by choking on milk. The reason for coughing while lying down is that nasal secretions flow backward to the throat (postnasal drip), which irritates the throat and triggers coughing. Whether the children's lung clearing syrup can be given to a three-month-old child depends on its ingredients. If the children's lung clearing syrup you mentioned contains herbs like Platycodon, it can be given. It is recommended to take 1 ml per time, three times a day. If the children's lung clearing syrup you mentioned refers to Fenner's lung clearing syrup, it cannot be given to a three-month-old child, as Fenner's lung clearing syrup is not used in children under two years old.
