Patient's question:
Symptom Description: It's just a runny nose, plus a bit of coughing. The cough is intermittent? It seems to be due to catching a cold from air conditioning.Past Treatment and Effect: There have been no such problems.
Help Needed: Is drinking brown sugar water helpful?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, based on the condition of your child, it should be due to catching a cold from air conditioning. It is recommended to give the child more water to drink. If oral medication is needed, you can take pediatric paracetamol and pseudoephedrine granules. If the cough is severe, additional anti-inflammatory medication and ambroxol oral solution may be required. Based on your description, it is possible that the baby may have tracheitis or pneumonia. It is recommended to give the child more water to drink, avoid catching a cold, and gently pat the back to promote phlegm expulsion. Take the baby to the hospital for a blood test, and have the doctor listen to the trachea and lungs. If it is considered to be caused by a bacterial infection, oral antibiotics and cough syrup should be given, along with nebulization treatment.
