Patient's question:
My baby is currently 10 months old. Recently, he accidentally caught a cold. Since yesterday, he has been constantly running a nose and coughing occasionally. We want to buy some medicine for him to take a few times to prevent it from getting worse. Hello, what medicine should a 10-month-old baby take for a cold and cough?Doctor's answer:
A ten-month-old baby has again developed symptoms of a runny nose and cough. Since it is a disease, it is most likely caused by a viral infection in the early stages. At this time, many symptomatic treatment medications can be used, as well as many heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine formulas, such as An'erning Granules and Chiqiao Qingre Granules. If the cough is severe, many lung-cleaning and blood-cooling medications should be used. However, these medications are best taken under the guidance of a doctor and should not be taken on your own. If the symptoms do not improve after taking the medication for two or three days, it is also necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment.
