Patient's question:
The baby is two months old and has a cough with phlegm in the throat. The cough isn't too severe, but there's a rattling sound in the throat while breathing, as if phlegm isn't coming out smoothly. There's also a slight cold. The baby's stool is green and they have a bowel movement three times a day, but not much. I bought Orange-Red Oral Liquid and Cefpodoxime Granules today. The dosage is one-third of the recommended amount, which seems quite small. The baby is only 70 days old, so I don't know if it will work.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic treatment can be used. Penicillin-class, cotrimoxazole, and macrolide antibiotics are effective but should not be taken blindly. It is best to identify the cause under the guidance of a local doctor. If it is a secondary bacterial inflammation, anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment should be administered simultaneously.This is the advice for the question "Baby is 2 months old, coughing with phlegm, not too severe." I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
