Patient's question:
My baby is one year old and has a cough for some unknown reason. Could you please tell me what medicine I should give my baby?Doctor's answer:
Baby coughing may be caused by a respiratory infection. It is advisable to add anti-inflammatory medication. Currently, it is important to monitor for the development of bronchitis. Hospital examination and auscultation are recommended. For bronchitis, intravenous fluid treatment is considered more effective. Drink plenty of water and avoid getting cold. For mild infections, anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken. For cough or phlegm, Fresh Bamboo Juice Oral Liquid or Xia'er Ma Gan Granules can be used. In severe cases, intravenous fluid treatment is recommended. It is also necessary to be alert to Mycoplasma infection. If Mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin dispersible granules should be used.
