Patient's question:
Half a year since yesterday, the baby has been coughing a bit after drinking milk, but usually doesn't cough. When sleeping soundly, everything is normal, though occasionally the throat feels like there's phlegm. Currently, there's no fever, runny nose, normal tongue color, normal bowel movements, and the baby is in good spirits.I'm wondering if this is normal for the baby. Should we go to the hospital? Or is there anything we can give the baby to help? I hope the experts can give some advice. Thank you all.
Doctor's answer:
Baby coughing may be caused by a respiratory infection. It is advisable to add anti-inflammatory medication. Currently, it is important to monitor for a possible recurrence of bronchitis. You can go to the hospital for a careful examination, such as percussion. For bronchitis, intravenous fluids are considered to be more effective. Drink plenty of warm water to prevent catching a cold.The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if my 2.5-month-old baby is coughing?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
