Question
Recently, a parent noticed that their younger brother’s child often coughs, accompanied by phlegm, chest tightness, and asthma, especially during nighttime sleep when the child cries and is restless. The parent wants to know how to determine if the baby’s cough has improved?
Answer
A baby’s improvement in cough can be assessed by observing their mental state, appetite, and sleep quality. If the baby is in good spirits, has normal appetite, sleeps soundly at night, and the cough does not interfere with their daily activities such as eating and sleeping, these are signs of improvement in the baby’s condition. It is recommended to have the baby drink plenty of water, avoid sugary drinks and overly thick MilkPowder, and supplement with water after feeding to dilute the MilkPowder. Additionally, allowing the baby to get adequate sun exposure can help boost their immunity. It is advised to seek treatment from a regular hospital and wish the baby a healthy recovery.
