Patient's question:
The baby is eight months old. These past few days, she has a cold and coughs, and it feels like there is phlegm. Therefore, I would like to ask what to do about a cold, cough, and phlegm in an eight-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is necessary to consider how bronchitis might have occurred. It is best to go to the hospital for many relevant tests, such as a complete blood count and a chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. If there is a bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used. If it is a viral infection, antiviral treatment should be provided. For clearing the lungs, many herbs that clear the lungs and cool the blood can be used for symptomatic treatment, such as Lungs Power Syrup, etc. Inhalation can also be used to expel phlegm and relieve cough.
