Patient's question:
The baby is four months old and has a cold. They are also coughing and have a slight fever in the morning and evening. The coughing is worse at night. It has been about two weeks, and they have taken cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and cough syrup, but the symptoms are not improving. What should I do for a four-month-old baby with a cold, cough, and runny nose?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you provided, considering that the child may have a cold after catching a cold, most of it is related to viral infection. The current symptoms are still related to the disease itself and the use of medication. For children under three years old, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for cold treatment as much as possible. Generally, it takes 5 to 7 days for the symptoms to gradually improve. There are many methods for treating the disease, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods will also be different. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to go to a professional hospital for detailed testing as soon as possible to prescribe the right medicine.
