Patient's question:
The baby is almost two years old. For the past one and a half months, she has had a cold and coughing and has been taking medicine. Now she still has a little cough, rarely during the day, but a few times at night. There is a bit of phlegm that she can't cough out. No, I don't want to give her more medicine anymore. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Your baby has been coughing for such a long time, and it's likely not just caused by a simple respiratory infection. There may be a factor of urinary tract allergy. It's recommended to take your baby to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to identify the cause. Currently, it's suggested to stop all cold and anti-inflammatory medications, but you still need to take a few days of antiallergy medication. Generally, the cough should stop after three days. It's recommended that since the child is young, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor after the cause is identified. Wishing you good health.
