Patient's question:
The baby has been coughing many times, seeming to have phlegm that cannot be coughed up for three or four days. About the previous treatment and its effects: Taking Xiao'er Zhibao Wan and Xie Bai Tang. How to assist: Seeking an effective prescription...Doctor's answer:
The baby's cough is episodic and mild, with no response to antibiotics, accompanied by throat itching but not fever. The child is sensitive to cold air and smoke. If the cough worsens at night, it could be possible that the baby has cough-variant asthma or allergic bronchitis.You can apply cool oil to the baby's chest and back. Combine it with honey-linbeibee-lychee syrup. Take a hot bath at night, adding more hot water repeatedly until the baby sweats. Apply a lot of oil, rubbing it repeatedly. Spread the oil from the center to the other three sides. Rub until the skin turns red and the person feels warm. The effect is quite good.
If the baby also has a high fever, use cool oil to rub the spine. (This is effective for all cases of high fever that doesn't subside.) Apply cool oil to the neck (at the base of the neck) and rub it 200 times. Reapply oil if it becomes slippery. It's best to rub the right side of the spine (the side closer to the baby's right hand).
If these methods don't work, it's recommended to consult a doctor at the hospital for a detailed evaluation.
The above advice is for the question "What medicine should a three-and-a-half-month-old baby with a cough take?" and is hoped to assist you. Wishing you good health!
