Patient's question:

Can a 40-day-old baby take children's expectorant and cough syrup? Not feverish, with phlegm, a bit of cough, sometimes sneezing, and vomiting milk. No, confirmed it can be used.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, consider the possibility of a cold or cough caused by factors such as the baby catching a cold. Oral administration of Xiao'er Qingfei Liangxue Tang can be considered. Pay attention to this situation, and you can appropriately give the baby more water. The baby's mother should avoid extremely cold, sour, spicy, and irritating foods, and should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Oral administration of Xiao'er Aminophenylamine Granules and Amoxicillin Granules can also be considered. It is recommended that you do not give him any medicinal treatment, and instead, encourage him to drink more water.
