Patient's question:
The baby is a bit coughing. He doesn't cough during the day, only at night. It's not very serious, but in the past two days, there's been a "dōngdōng" sound when he coughs. I know my description isn't very accurate, but it's like when adults cough severely, they sometimes make that kind of sound. He sometimes also has dry coughing. His spirits are okay, but he still looks a bit uncomfortable. There's a lot of phlegm. The child seems to have underdeveloped vocal cords, as even when he's well, there's phlegm in his throat. He doesn't cough much, just has phlegm. Sometimes, when there's a lot of phlegm, he needs to straighten his body to catch his breath. When he drinks milk, it makes a "hōuhōu" sound, and it makes me feel so anxious for him. A few days ago, he seemed to have a heat rash, and his lips cracked and bled. I applied sesame oil, and it healed. I have Kadiq, cough syrup, and Entonox at home, but I don't dare to give him random medications. Please help me. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, it is recommended that you pay attention to drinking more water. If there is inflammation, you should also take antibiotics. If oral medication is not effective, it is better to receive intravenous treatment. Use it under the guidance of a local doctor. If there is phlegm, you can try taking Xianzhu Li orally. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my baby has a cough? Please give me a lot of help." I hope it helps you. If it is serious, it is still better to seek medical attention. Wish you health!
