What should I do if my baby's cough doesn't go away?

Patient's question:

The baby has been hiccuping since birth. Last month, they contracted a viral fever from adults. It's easy for them to cough after going to bed in the morning. During the day, their condition improves slightly, but in the past two days, they've been coughing several times before taking a nap in the evening, with phlegm, a red throat, and nasal congestion. Sometimes they snore during naps. They've been coughing for a month.
Onset date: September 9th evening
Laboratory test results: Urine test shows high lymphocyte count; other results are normal. Lung breathing is slightly rough.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Oral traditional Chinese medicine treatment for a month, but there's no improvement. Seeking advice from experts: What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is recommended to have the child checked and examined, while also increasing their fluid intake.
1. This condition is commonly seen in upper respiratory infections and can be treated with oral antibiotics, such as Cefixime Granules. For expectorant medications, Mucosolvan Granules are recommended for their effective cough relief. You can also make a decoction with small sour pears and rock sugar to drink.
2. Additional treatment includes increasing fluid intake. Adjust the amount of clothing based on the temperature. If there are signs of fever, you can take Nimesulide Granules orally. Chinese herbal medicines such as Lianye Ling, Caosongcan Huanpi, and Bao'an San can also be used!
