Question
What medication should I give a nine-month-old baby who has difficulty speaking due to throat problems and has a slight fever the next day?
Answer
This is mainly caused by inflammation due to an upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended to use some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs in combination with mucus treatment. If coughing is severe, consider intravenous fluid therapy. At the same time, you can let the baby inhale steam, as moist air helps to clear lung mucus and relieve coughing. Please ensure adequate hydration, keep the air fresh, and maintain a comfortable room temperature. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
