Baby is five months old and has been coughing since six days after birth. What should I do?

Patient's question:

The baby is five months old. Since the day of birth, they have been coughing. After a thorough examination at the hospital, nothing was found. An old Chinese medicine practitioner said it was a lung heat cough. They had their first vaccination after the full moon. Can they get vaccinated with this cough?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the baby has a cold with symptoms such as fever and cough, which are contagious, they cannot continue with vaccinations to avoid adverse interference with the vaccine. If the child does not have a fever or other contagious factors, and the cough is purely irritative, they can continue with vaccinations normally. This is the advice for the question "My baby is five months old and has been coughing since the sixth day of birth, what should I do?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
