2-week 9-month-old baby with cough and phlegm, will it turn into pneumonia?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, the child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could a 2-week-9-month-old baby with cough and phlegm develop pneumonia?

Doctor's answer:

Mild infections can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. For cough or phlegm, Fresh Bamboo Juice Oral Liquid or Xia'er Mahagan Granules can be taken for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion is recommended. It is also important to be alert to mycoplasma infections. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin dry suspension should be used.
There are many factors that can affect the pediatric respiratory system. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
