Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, the child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if a five-month-old baby suddenly starts coughing?Doctor's answer:
Mild infections can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. For cough or phlegm, you can take Fresh Bamboo Juice Oral Liquid or Xia'er Mahagan Granules for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion is recommended. It is also important to be alert to mycoplasma infections. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin granules should be used. Rest is necessary.Children with nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and coughing are all symptoms of respiratory infections. Clear nasal discharge is most commonly associated with viral infections. Most viral infections are self-limiting, and even without medication, they can usually heal within about 7 days.
