Patient's question:
My younger brother's child has been coughing a lot recently, with coughing and phlegm, accompanied by chest tightness and shortness of breath. At night, the child often cries and fusses. I would like to ask, how can I determine if the baby's cough is improving?Doctor's answer:
The baby is doing well, with good spirits, appetite, and sleep at night. The cough does not affect their normal activities like eating and sleeping, which indicates improvement. It's okay to let the child drink some plain water regularly, but avoid drinks and avoid making the milk formula too thick. After feeding, you can give them a little water to dilute the formula. Let the baby get some sunlight to boost their immunity. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital. Wishing you good health.
