Patient's question:
A three-month-old baby who is less than a year old has been coughing recently, not frequently, but the cough feels like there is phlegm that cannot be expelled. Coughing is more frequent when sleeping. During dinner time, coughing leads to vomiting. The baby is in good spirits, without fever or cold symptoms, but there is dry mucus in the nose. The baby has seen a doctor and taken medicine for a few days, but it hasn't helped and the condition remains the same. Later, another doctor suggested that the baby has poor tracheal function with some wheezing and recommended injections? What type of cough does the baby have? It hasn't improved after so long... Now, the baby is taking anti-inflammatory, cough-relieving, and asthma-relieving medication.Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, the baby may have developed an upper respiratory infection due to catching a cold. It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for a blood test and a chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis, and then receive active and appropriate treatment. Give the child more hot water to drink, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid getting chilled. The above advice is for the question "How to treat a cough in a baby under three months old?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
