Question
What should I do for an 8-month-old baby with a cough and cold?
Answer
Treating an 8-month-old baby’s cough with cough medicine for a month has shown no significant effect in treating the cough caused by a cold. It is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medication simultaneously and perform nebulizer inhalation therapy, which can help in the recovery of the baby’s cough. The baby’s cough may be due to lung overheating, so it is suggested to use medications that clear lung heat and promote lung health. At the same time, strengthening care is also important; attention should be paid to keeping warm and avoiding cold air irritation.
