Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Is it okay to give the baby an injection in the buttocks for cough?Doctor's answer:
This baby might have a viral or bacterial infection, and it can be treated with intramuscular injections. Two injections are needed per day, and it may take several days. The main purpose is to reduce inflammation or fight the virus. It is recommended that you give the baby some cough medicine. Don't be too anxious. Try not to dress the baby in too many layers, as excessive sweating can easily lead to a cold.There are many causes of respiratory issues in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating or cold foods.
