Patient's question:
Here's the translation of your text into English:"My baby here has been coughing a lot recently. The doctor said he should take pertussis medicine. I want to ask if pertussis in newborns can be cured?"
Doctor's answer:
First, consider whether the child's symptoms are caused by a viral cold, leading to coughing and other symptoms. In this case, it is recommended to give the child appropriate doses of small pieces of medicine or ribavirin granules to alleviate the symptoms. Parents do not need to worry too much, and during this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate fluid intake. If the situation is severe, it may be necessary to revisit the hospital for a check-up and symptomatic treatment. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more prone to various illnesses. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Avoid giving medication to the child blindly.
