Patient's question:
A one-month-old baby has been coughing persistently for almost a month. Now, their throat isn't making any rattling sounds, and there's no phlegm. However, they occasionally cough a few times in the morning. Do they still need to focus on taking medicine? Can this condition resolve on its own without coughing?Doctor's answer:
A one-month-old baby has been coughing constantly, and it is suspected to be bronchial infection or pneumonia. If necessary, an X-ray should be taken for a thorough examination and diagnosis. For mild infections, anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken for treatment. Fresh bamboo juice oral liquid or children's Ma Gan granules can be used for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion treatment is recommended, while also being cautious of mycoplasma infection. If it is mycoplasma infection, azithromycin dry suspension should be taken orally.
