Question
My baby is 8 weeks old and has been feeling unwell recently, as if he’s fallen ill. How should I treat a child’s cough?
Answer
Based on your description, an initial judgment suggests a common cold accompanied by bronchitis, possibly due to exposure to cold. In necessary cases, symptomatic medication can be administered to the child. Monitor the child’s body temperature and seek immediate medical treatment if fever or other symptoms occur. Avoid any psychological stress, maintain a cheerful mood, and during this period, ensure adequate rest. Also, maintain a healthy diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
