Does the baby need to take medicine for cough?

Patient's question:

Baby, you're five months old now. I feel a bit of a cough, and there's a stuffy sound in your nose, maybe a little phlegm. Do you need to give the baby medicine? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

If the baby only has mild coughing, some pediatric cough and phlegm-relieving medications can be used for symptomatic treatment. It's important to give the baby plenty of water and avoid overly salty or cold foods. Appropriate amounts of fruits can also be consumed to aid in symptom recovery. If the symptoms are severe, it's recommended to go to the hospital for examination to check for tracheal and lung inflammation.
