Question
What situations might lead to a 5-month-old baby constantly coughing?
Answer
A child’s cough may be due to bronchitis, often accompanied by symptoms such as coughing, expectoration, sometimes wheezing, and fever. Parents can give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for treatment and can also give the child some compound fresh bamboo decoction to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, parents can encourage the child to drink more water, pay attention to warmth, which are all conducive to the improvement of symptoms. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for a consultation to avoid affecting the child’s health.
