Question
How to handle an 8-month-old baby’s cold, cough, and phlegm?
Answer
When an 8-month-old baby exhibits cold symptoms accompanied by cough and phlegm, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of bronchitis. In such cases, it is advisable for parents to take their baby to the hospital for a detailed examination promptly. This includes routine blood tests and chest X-rays to confirm the diagnosis. If the test results indicate a bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment is necessary; if it’s a viral infection, antiviral medication should be administered. Moreover, to clean the lungs and alleviate symptoms, medications with lung-cooling and blood-cooling effects can be used for symptomatic treatment, such as Pulley Koce Tablets. Nebulizer inhalation therapy can also be performed to promote phlegm discharge and relieve cough symptoms.
