Children with cough and phlegm, slightly cold, can they go swimming in the swimming pool?

Patient's question:

The baby is 5 and a half months old. She has teething and a cold, but her spirits are good, and she's eating normally. Currently, she has a cough with phlegm. Are there any dietary remedies that are effective? Should she take some calcium to alleviate her discomfort from teething? The baby tends to cough more at night than during the day. Are there any methods to relieve her cough and help her expel phlegm?

Doctor's answer:

If your cold and cough have not fully recovered, you cannot be exposed to cold. Prevent the symptoms from worsening. According to the situation you described, it is recommended not to go ice skating and get cold. You can actively cool the blood and reduce inflammation for treatment. Additionally, actively supplement calcium and get sunlight.
Furthermore, during the treatment of children's cough, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery of the children's cough.
