Patient's question:
My baby is already eight months old. Recently, it might be because of the changing weather getting colder, and I haven't taken good care of my baby's warmth, so the baby started coughing. I gave the baby many cough remedies, but they haven't been very effective. I want to know what to do about a cold and cough in an eight-month-old baby.Doctor's answer:
A baby who has been coughing for half a month due to a cold has not seen significant improvement with cough syrup. It is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medications in combination with the treatment. Inhalation therapy should be administered to the child for treatment, which will help in the complete recovery of the cough. Cough caused by cold exposure is often due to excessive lung heat, so it is suggested to use medications that clear lung heat, promote lung ventilation, and clear the lungs for treatment. While taking medication, it is essential to enhance care, pay attention to preventing cold and keeping warm, and avoid exposure to cold stimuli.
