Doctor's answer:
Hello, coughing is mostly caused by inflammation in the respiratory tract. Generally, you can take Azithromycin and Strong Loquat Syrup for treatment. Drink more boiled water, and it may also be pneumonia or bronchitis. It is recommended to have an X-ray or chest CT for confirmation. The most common cause of coughing in babies is usually due to catching a cold due to weather changes, and it is related to viral or mycoplasma infections. The initial diagnosis is bronchitis. During treatment, pay attention to drinking more water. If the symptoms are severe, you can take Huanglong Cough Relief Granules and Pudilan Granules orally, or receive intravenous treatment to avoid chronic inflammation. Also, pay attention to keeping warm, avoiding wind and cold, and massaging the Yingxiang acupoint for regulation. You can also take Fritillaria cirrhosa and Fritillaria thunbergii for treatment.
