How to deal with a 11-month-old baby who has a cough and a runny nose for 11 days?

Patient's question:

The baby is 11 months and 11 days old. Since yesterday, they have started coughing and having a runny nose, with a slightly hoarse voice. They have taken four doses of Cough and Asthma Granules and Amoxicillin Granules. Sometimes they cough with dry retching. Initially, they only coughed at night, but now they cough during the day as well. What should be paid attention to? Is it bronchitis? What medication should be taken?

Doctor's answer:

When the throat is inflamed, it's important to give the child more water and also provide Xiao'er Yanbian Granules. Some dry coughing may indicate spleen deficiency and impaired spleen function. In that case, you can give the child Fufang Jijin Powder or Infant Spleen Strengthening Powder to regulate and see if it improves. These are suggestions for the question "What should I do if my 11-month-old baby has a cough and runny nose?" I hope this helps. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
