Patient's question:
The weather has been very hot recently, and the air conditioner has been running in the house. As a result, the baby accidentally caught a cold and has been constantly running a runny nose. What methods are there for severe coughing in babies?Doctor's answer:
Upper respiratory tract infections are generally caused by bacterial or viral infections, leading to local mucosal edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, and continuous accumulation of inflammatory exudates. This can result in symptoms such as runny nose, chills, cough, coughing up phlegm, or even fever. The medication prescribed for your child is appropriate. Dietary remedies can include boiling pears with rock sugar into a decoction, which can be consumed once daily. This can be even more effective than traditional lung-cleansing and cough-suppressing remedies. Thank you for reaching out, and we hope your child recovers quickly. During treatment, it is important for patients to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, engage in regular physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. Keeping personal hygiene can help prevent bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
