The baby is now just two months old and often chokes while feeding. In recent days, it happens occasionally.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the key to pediatric cough is to identify the cause of the cough. Generally, mild and infrequent coughing helps to expel mucus. After the mucus is expelled, the cough often naturally subsides, so cough suppressants are not necessary. Severe and frequent coughing is very harmful to the body. For severe dry cough, cough suppressants such as codeine syrup can be used for a short period to help alleviate the cough. For children with coughing accompanied by excessive, thick, and difficult-to-expel mucus, cough and mucus-expelling medications should be used, such as Detoxin and Tylenol Cold & Cough Syrup. At the same time, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate fluid intake to thin the mucus, which helps in its expulsion.
