Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my child is a 9-month-old boy. He has been coughing for some time. What should I do about the cough of a 9-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
If the child is in this condition and the cough is not particularly severe, you can first take the medication prescribed by the doctor and see how it goes. Give the child more water to drink, and make some steamed pear with sugar for the child to consume. If the cough is more severe, take the medication and observe the child's condition. If there is no improvement after three days of medication, go to the hospital for a consultation. Parents should ensure the child is well protected from the cold and eat light, soft, and liquid foods in daily diet.
