Patient's question:
The baby has been exclusively formula-fed for two and a half months. Now, they constantly have a dry cough and have developed a rash all over their head, neck, and face. I've used Furel ointment, but it hasn't improved the condition. How can it be resolved more quickly?Doctor's answer:
The baby's cough could be due to the formula being too dry. As for the bumps on the face and neck, they might be eczema caused by an allergy to the formula. The typical symptom of eczema is itching, and it often reoccurs around the age of 6 months. It is recommended that you give the baby more water and pay attention to whether it is eczema. Since the baby is very young, it is best to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination.
