Question
Hello doctor, my child is a boy and he is 9 months old. Lately, he has been coughing, and I want to know what should I do for a 9-month-old baby with cough?
Answer
If your child’s cough is not particularly severe, you can first try giving him the medication prescribed by the doctor, while also ensuring he drinks plenty of water. You can also give him a decoction of sugar and pear to drink, which can help alleviate the cough. If the cough is more severe, it is recommended that you seek medical attention quickly. The doctor will prescribe suitable medication based on the specific situation. If there is no improvement after three consecutive days of medication, please bring your child to the hospital for immediate consultation. At the same time, parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm and provide them with light and easy-to-digest food.
