Question

Dear reader, our 7-year-old daughter has been constantly coughing recently, and her bowel movements are not good either. How should we handle a 1.5-year-old baby’s cold and cough?

Answer

It’s not necessarily the case that eating a few mouthfuls of durian will cause stomach upset.Severe coughing in children can cause the tracheal mucous membrane to rupture, leading to a small amount of blood. This is not a cause for concern. Treatment should focus on symptomatic anti-infection therapy, drinking plenty of warm water to enhance care, and, if necessary, using nebulizer inhalation to thin mucus and relieve coughing. For parents, it’s important to help children receive timely treatment for their diseases. Additionally, it’s crucial to pay attention to the baby’s diet in daily life, ensuring a balanced diet and avoiding both excessive supplementation and malnutrition.
