How to treat a nine-month-old baby's cough for half a month

Patient's question:

Patient: Male, nine months old, previously in good health.
Current Condition:
A few days ago, after having a cold, the baby suddenly developed coughing symptoms. Due to poor digestion, the baby was given digestive aid medication, but there was no improvement. Additionally, the baby had watery stools and experienced frequent bowel movements. The baby appeared noticeably thinner and was taken to the doctor, who diagnosed dehydration. The baby received three days of intravenous fluids, which showed improvement. At that time, the baby’s coughing was not severe, and no specific treatment was administered. Now, the cough has worsened.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your child has been coughing for half a month, and now there is still coughing. It's important to keep the back warm. Your child can take Xiao'er Qingfei Huatan Zhike Granules for treatment.
Additionally, if there is a lot of phlegm, you can use Beile. It's also important to drink more water. The diet should be light, and watermelon can be eaten. Meats should be consumed in moderation.
There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If your child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
