Patient's question:
The baby's condition description: My baby is breastfed. A few days ago, I had a cold and coughed, and I continued to breastfeed. After feeding, the baby started coughing, and the coughing is quite frequent. Can the baby take medicine? Can the baby absorb medicine that adults take? Medical history and effectiveness: No treatment has been given.Doctor's answer:
First, identify the cause of the baby's cough and give them plenty of warm water to drink. You can fill a hot water bag with water around 40℃ and wrap it with a thin towel, then apply it to the baby's back near the lungs. This can help accelerate the removal of cold and quickly relieve coughing. This method is particularly effective for cough symptoms in the early stages of a cold. Be careful not to burn the baby. If the cough is caused by a cold, take the baby to the hospital for a doctor's diagnosis and treatment, or you can boil some pear water for the baby to drink.
