Patient's question:
The baby is two months and ten days old, with a runny nose, cough, phlegm, and some diarrhea. Can the baby drink water cooked with rock sugar and pears? The baby had been coughing occasionally without phlegm for the past two days, but starting yesterday, the baby started having a runny nose, cough, and phlegm, with the cough seeming worse than the previous two days. Yesterday, the baby started taking medication.Doctor's answer:
This symptom indicates an upper respiratory infection in infants, along with gastrointestinal digestive dysfunction. Avoid feeding pear water, although it may help relieve cough, it can also alleviate nausea and vomiting. It is recommended to further undergo anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment.According to the season, the current flu is mostly caused by the influenza virus. Treatment should be based on antiviral therapy, with azithromycin used in combination for better effects. For severe cough, take expectorant and cough-relieving medications such as Orange Red Cough Syrup. When fever occurs, physical cooling is the preferred method. If necessary, take fever-reducing medication to lower body temperature. Rest and drink plenty of water.
The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 2-month-10-day-old baby has a runny nose, cough, phlegm, and a bit of diarrhea?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
