Question
My baby has a cold with clear nasal discharge and a cough. They cough during the day as well, but it’s much worse when they sleep at night. It feels like they might vomit with the coughing. They have received two days of hip needles, but there has been no improvement. The cough is still severe at night, and there is also phlegm in the throat. What should I do?
Answer
Based on the symptoms described, your baby may have bronchitis. It is recommended to undergo a chest X-ray or perspective examination for confirmation. You can try using azithromycin or cefixime capsules for treatment, and in severe cases, intravenous administration of antibiotics may be required. If the sputum is thick, you can takeMuxitan or Compound Licorice Oral Solution to relieve symptoms, and encourage them to drink more plain water. Nebulizer inhalation therapy may also be helpful.
