Patient's question:
My baby is only a few days old, and over the past two days, the child has been experiencing recurrent episodes of coughing. Sometimes, after coughing, there is still a sound. I am very worried that these many symptoms may indicate whooping cough. So, what are the symptoms of whooping cough in newborns?Doctor's answer:
A thorough examination needs to be conducted, such as blood tests, lung CT scans, MRI, and pathological examinations when necessary, to diagnose the disease and provide targeted treatment. Do not be anxious or nervous; maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude is helpful for the treatment of the disease. Pay attention to keeping your mouth clean and hygienic, drink plenty of water, eat less greasy and spicy foods, and ensure the indoor air supply is adequate with suitable temperature and humidity.
