Patient's question:
A 5-month-old female baby has been coughing recently, with dry coughing that leads to vomiting. She hasn't been introduced to any solid foods yet and is exclusively breastfed. The baby has been experiencing some cold symptoms and is taking Aichang. Her bowel movements are abnormal, appearing like soap bubbles, and I have also given her Smecta.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby's cough with phlegm and runny nose is likely a symptom of bronchitis caused by a cold. You can use children's cough syrup, Bromhexine, combined with antibiotics like Azithromycin or Amoxicillin for treatment. You can also give your baby some rock sugar pear juice or stewed snow pears with Fritillaria, which are effective in relieving cough and phlegm. Make sure to drink plenty of water, keep warm, and avoid catching a cold.
