Question
My child, who is 3 and a half years old, has been coughing for several days. After seeing a doctor, the coughing improved during the day, but it gets particularly severe at night, accompanied by vomiting.
Answer
Hello, according to your description, this kind of situation can make the baby more susceptible to catching a cold, and it’s even more prone to symptoms like a stuffy nose. It’s suggested to take Ettanquity Oral Solution, a compound preparation containing Guaifenesin, for treating coughs, thick phlegm, difficulty in expectoration, and wheezing. During the cold, parents should ensure the child gets plenty of rest and drinks plenty of plain water. Generally, symptoms should resolve within 5-7 days. Additionally, enhancing the baby’s nutrition and exercise can better prevent such occurrences.
