Question
A 6-month-old baby has a body temperature of 37.9 degrees and is coughing. How should it be treated?
Answer
Hello, ensure good air circulation and allow the baby to get plenty of rest. The younger the child, the more rest they need, and they should only resume normal activities after symptoms have disappeared. Under a doctor’s guidance, you can administer symptomatic medication to the child. Traditional Chinese medicine for treating children’s colds and coughs includes pediatric cold granules, pediatric expectorant cough granules (Good Baby), pediatric throat and tonsil infusion, and pediatric expectorant cough granules or syrups. However, it is important to strictly follow the dosage instructions on the package or the doctor’s orders.
