How to treat a cough with phlegm in an eight-month-old baby

Patient's question:

Is it okay for an eight-month-old baby with a cough and phlegm to take Pu'dilan and 999 Children's Cold Granules? Previously, they had a high fever of 38 degrees and went to the hospital for erythromycin, which caused nausea and vomiting. After that, they started running a nose and coughing, taking the Cold Granules. What kind of help is needed: Is it just about inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

A 8-month-old child with cough and phlegm can take these two medications, but if the child has just recovered from diarrhea, using medication again may potentially cause nausea and vomiting.
Advice: During this period, it’s important to pay attention to diet. Eat small meals more frequently, give the child plenty of water. If it doesn’t improve, stop using Pu’di Lan (a herbal medicine) and consider giving the child Xiao’er Qingfei Liangxue Granules for treatment.
The above advice is for the question "How to deal with a 8.5-month-old baby with cough and phlegm?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
