Baby is 14 months old and has been coughing and feeling nauseous these last couple of days. How should it be treated?

Patient's question:

The baby is 14 months old. In the past two days, she has been coughing, feeling nauseous, and having a runny nose. The coughing is not severe during the day but gets worse during naps, and every cough is followed by nausea, though she doesn't vomit. Her eyes are also producing a lot of eye discharge. The doctor prescribed three medications, and I'm wondering if they will be effective. The child's voice has changed slightly, and I'm asking if it's possible to add an oral liquid medication. Urgent, urgent, urgent.

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
Based on the situation you described, it is possible that the upper respiratory infection may still be caused by catching a cold. Given the current condition of the baby, the cough is likely due to tonsillitis. You can consider taking some anti-inflammatory medication, such as Amoxicillin-Clavulanate Potassium, and drink more water.
The above is the advice for the question "How to treat a 14-month-old baby with a cough and nausea?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
