Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My baby just turned 100 days old, and he keeps coughing at night. He's also afraid to eat, and since the child is so young, he doesn't understand what medicine to use without side effects. It would be best if we could solve this through dietary changes. I was hoping you could help me understand. What should I eat for whooping cough?Doctor's answer:
Your child currently has a cough symptom, which may be caused by a cold due to catching a cold after exposure to wind and cold. He has just completed his one-month milestone and is primarily breastfed, with no supplementary foods added yet. Therefore, the dietary treatment you mentioned will not have any effect on the child. It is recommended to take him to the hospital early for a chest X-ray. If there is inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered.
