Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby's cough should be considered as bronchopneumonia, mainly caused by complications from a cold. It is recommended that you give your baby Amoxicillin Granules + Xia'er Kechuanling Granules and other medications. Make sure to give your baby plenty of warm water, and pay attention to observing your baby's overall condition. Generally, it will recover in about a week. If the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical treatment and receive intravenous fluids promptly. You can give him some Tankejing and add some Ribavirin Granules. Additionally, combine dietary therapy using Fritillaria, lily bulb, pear, and rock sugar to make a soup to drink, which has a cough-relieving and expectorant effect. Maintain a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, avoid harmful stimuli, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
