Question
What should I do if my 8-month-old baby has a cold and cough?
Answer
Currently, the main approach is to use pediatric cold medications, lung-cooling and blood-cooling herbs, and antiviral drugs for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, a lung percussion examination should be conducted to check for any inflammation in the trachea and lungs. Moreover, it’s best to also perform a routine blood test to check for any abnormalities in blood cells. If there is also a bacterial infection, appropriate pediatric antibacterial medications should be added for treatment.
