Patient's question:
The doctor wants to ask what medicine is good for a six-month-old baby with a cold and cough? I took him out for a walk last night and he caught a cold from the wind. He started coughing as soon as he came down this morning, with clear nasal discharge, and his voice sounds a bit hoarse. Please help me find an answer from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
Last night, after catching a cold and wind, coughing returned, along with hoarseness, clear nasal discharge. This is likely a cold symptom caused by catching a chill. It's important to have the child drink more water. You can give them some Panadol Yellow for Children (). For a one-year-old, the usual dosage is half a packet each time, three times a day. If the symptoms don't improve after taking it for three days, further treatment with a pediatrician will be needed. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
