Question
My daughter is 9 months old. She had a fit of crying two days ago, and her throat became hoarse. Then she started coughing, and the cough was accompanied by phlegm. How should I treat it? Are there better methods than taking medicine?
Answer
Hello, based on your inquiry, this may be caused by a respiratory infection, possibly a lung infection or bronchitis. For mild infections, you can take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, such as amoxicillin clavulanate potassium granules or cefaclor granules. If there is coughing or phlegm, you can take fresh bamboo decoction. Additionally, drinking plenty of plain water can also help alleviate the symptoms. Wishing your baby a healthy growth.
