Patient's question:
The baby has had a slight cold since the day before yesterday, and it has been getting worse. Today, it has already started coughing, and the coughing is getting more intense. Despite taking many medications, it hasn't helped at all. I don't know what to do. Hello, what should I do if the baby has a severe cough from a cold?Doctor's answer:
The baby's cough may be due to bronchitis or caused by catching a cold. You can boil pears with rock sugar and give the water to the child for drinking. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can give the child many anti-inflammatory and lung-cleansing medications. Pay attention to hygiene and keep the room well-ventilated. For breastfeeding babies, the mother should follow a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drink more water for the child and take care to prevent catching a cold. You can also coordinate with each other to do (atomization therapy), which is quite effective and relatively safe. Treatment can be adjusted based on the results of a thorough examination. During this period, proper care is also important to prevent catching a cold.
