Nine-month-old baby, coughing for half a month, how should it be treated?

Patient's question:

Patient is male, nine months old, and previously in good health.
Current condition:
A few days ago, after having a cold, the baby suddenly developed coughing symptoms. Due to poor digestion, the baby was given digestive aid medication, but there was no improvement. Additionally, the baby had watery stools and experienced frequent bowel movements. The baby appeared noticeably thinner and was taken to the doctor, who diagnosed dehydration. The baby received three days of intravenous fluids, which showed improvement. At that time, the baby’s coughing was mild, and no specific treatment was administered. Now, the cough has worsened.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the child has been coughing for half a month, and now there is still coughing. It's important to keep the back warm. The child can take Xiao'er Qingfei Huatan Zhike Granules for treatment.
Additionally, for excessive phlegm, you can use Beile. It's also important to drink more water. In terms of food, it should be light and simple. Watermelon is okay to eat, but meat should be consumed less.
