Patient's question:
A one-year-old and ten-month-old baby got pneumonia in November and was hospitalized for eight days, recovering on their own. A week later, they started coughing and having a runny nose. Medication helped with the runny nose, but they didn't cough during the day. However, they have been coughing intermittently at night since then, and medication hasn't helped improve the condition.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child's pneumonia has fully recovered, but they started coughing again. The fact that they are not coughing during the day indicates that the condition is improving. What medication are they currently taking? Is the room dry? Encourage the child to drink more water. The recurring cough suggests poor immunity, and acupuncture treatment can be considered for conditioning.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if a 1-year-old baby has a cough and runny nose?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
