Patient's question:
The baby is 9 months old and has been coughing for a long time. There is phlegm in the throat. We have been giving medicine for half a month, and we have changed three types of medicine except for the ones that clear the lungs, but it's still not getting better. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, the baby may have a respiratory infection because the baby's immunity is low and it is easy to develop pneumonia. My personal suggestion is to take the baby to the hospital for a face-to-face consultation, listen to whether there are any rales in the lungs, and check blood tests and chest X-rays if necessary, for peace of mind. Wish the baby a speedy recovery. The above is advice on the question "The baby is 9 months old and has been coughing for a long time." I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
