Patient's question:
1-year-8-month-old baby started coughing two days ago. The past two nights, I've noticed him waking up many times during the night, seemingly because of mucus blocking his breathing. Previously, when he coughed, there was phlegm but it didn't obstruct his breathing. What's going on this time?Doctor's answer:
From your information, the baby has a cough, phlegm, and poor breathing. There is a possibility of bronchitis or pneumonia. If these symptoms reappear, it is recommended to go to the pediatric department of the hospital for a clear diagnosis. Then, take medication under the guidance of a doctor. If necessary, the use of can be considered. Pay close attention to carefully observe the child's breathing condition. If breathing is poor, go for a follow-up visit at any time. The above is the advice for the question "Why is my 1-year-8-month-old baby coughing since yesterday?", hoping it helps you. Wishing you good health!
