What should I do if my baby has a cold, coughs, and phlegm, and nothing seems to help?

Patient's question:

Baby, it's been less than half a year, and she has been coughing for several days. It's been a light cough without phlegm. I suspect it might be allergic cough. Please ask, if the baby has a cold and coughs with phlegm, what should I do even if eating doesn't help?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital promptly for treatment. There is a high possibility of pneumonia, tonsillitis, or bronchitis. The condition may worsen, leading to the development of other diseases. You can use various symptomatic medications and cough suppressants for treatment. Inhalation therapy may be necessary if needed. In daily life, pay attention to keeping your child warm, encouraging them to drink more water, and maintaining a light diet, avoiding irritating foods.
In daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and maintain a positive mood to enhance their immunity and speed up recovery.
