Question
What medication should parents choose for a 10-month-old baby with a cold and cough?
Answer
When a 10-month-old baby experiences cold and cough symptoms, as these are often due to viral infections in the early stages, it is recommended to use symptomatic treatment medications and traditional Chinese medicine with cooling and detoxifying properties, such as An’er Ning Granules, Chi Jiao Qing Re Granules, etc. If the cough symptoms are severe, consider using medications that clear the lungs and cool the blood. However, medication use should always follow medical advice and should not be self-administered. If symptoms do not improve within two to three days, it is advisable to seek medical attention for examination and treatment.
