Question
A 13-week-old infant is experiencing cough symptoms, and the parents are seeking a quick and effective treatment method.
Answer
For a 13-week-old infant with cough symptoms, it is recommended to first consider whether it is due to bronchitis or pneumonia. The infant should be taken to the hospital for a detailed auscultation and imaging examination, and an X-ray may be necessary for confirmation. If the infection is mild, anti-inflammatory medication can be considered for treatment; if the symptoms are severe, intravenous fluid therapy is recommended. At the same time, parents should maintain a calm attitude, ensure the infant has adequate rest, and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which can have a positive impact on the infant’s recovery.
