Question
My baby has a cold with coughing, especially at night. Could it be bronchitis? What kind of medicine should I give, and can we use ice skating or bathing as alternative treatments?
Answer
Based on the symptoms, it is recommended to use pediatric Qingfei Liangxue Granules and Cefixime Granules for treatment. If the effects are not satisfactory, intravenous therapy may be required. At the same time, it is important to ensure adequate water intake, maintain a suitable indoor temperature and humidity, avoid ice skating, and if bathing is necessary, take appropriate measures to keep warm. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid eating spicy food. In addition, you can make a decoction of scallions and ginger for the baby to take, which has a therapeutic effect on wind-cold colds.
