Patient's question:
I have a friend whose child recently caught a cold because the weather hasn't been very good. I think the child is quite serious, so I want to ask the doctor what to do. The baby is ten months old and has a cough, excessive phlegm, and runny nose.Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,Your baby has a cough with phlegm, runny nose, and watery nasal discharge. You can choose appropriate cold medications for symptomatic treatment, and you can also complement it with many dietary methods, such as boiling pear with rock sugar and Fritillaria cirrhosa to drink, or boiling garlic with rock sugar. This can help prevent your child from catching a cold and provide symptomatic treatment. Carefully observe for a few days. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is necessary to take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination before receiving treatment.
