Answer
If a baby’s cough is accompanied by blood, it may be due to a respiratory infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine blood test and receive appropriate treatment based on the results. During treatment, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water, stays warm, and avoids spicy, irritant, oily, and cold foods. Also, supplement vitamins to strengthen the body.
