Can babies with recovered pneumonia and a slight cough drink ginger soup?

Patient's question:

The baby is almost two months old and has just recovered from pneumonia. Now, he's a bit coughing and also experiencing dry vomiting and milk reflux. It seems there's phlegm in his throat. I gave him some ginger soup, but I'm wondering if it will cause any issues or affect his stomach.

Doctor's answer:

The child's condition is considered to be caused by tracheitis. Currently, it can be treated with anti-inflammatory medication. Only when the cough improves can the episodes of dry heaving be eliminated. However, in this case, it is okay to give the child some ginger tea. But the key to treating this condition is through anti-inflammatory medication. It is recommended to take oral medications such as Shifusu, Xia'er Tanke Granules, and other drugs together for better effect. Avoid letting the child catch a cold and encourage them to drink more water.
