Can babies with coughs use air conditioners?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Can babies with coughs use air conditioning?

Doctor's answer:

This is a symptom of chronic laryngitis. You can check if the baby's throat is red and swollen, or if the tonsils are enlarged. It is related to air conditioning, and the temperature should not be set too low. Currently, you can take some throat lozenges, or steep some Ephedra. At the same time, it is important to drink more water and get adequate rest to improve the condition.
Hello, it is likely a cold. Typically, symptoms include coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured temperature does not need to be adjusted by 0.5 degrees—anything above 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can use infant acetaminophen and dextromethorphan for treatment. Drink plenty of warm water and pay attention to keeping warm. If necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.
