Question
The newborn has not been a month old yet and is occasionally coughing, experiencing nasal congestion, and having intermittent fevers. The baby has also taken cold syrup without relief. Can you help speculate on how to resolve this?
Answer
Based on your description, it is recommended that you should immediately take the child to the hospital for a routine blood test and C-reactive protein test after the child’s body temperature drops. At the same time, the doctor should perform a percussion examination and arrange for a chest X-ray if necessary. The doctor will decide whether medication is needed based on the test results and chest X-ray findings. These are the suggestions for the question ‘What should I do if a newborn baby occasionally coughs?’ I hope this helps and wish you health!
