Question
Why does a baby’s cough get worse after taking Hama syrup?
Answer
The cough may worsen after taking Hama syrup due to the unpleasant taste of the medicine, which the baby may not like or may have difficulty coughing up phlegm. It is recommended to continue administering the medication diligently and to give the baby cooling blood medicine like fresh bamboo decoction, as well as using symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as cefaclor. The baby may feel uncomfortable due to phlegm in the throat and may wake up at night from coughing. In this situation, it is crucial to take the medication consistently and use appropriate medication to alleviate symptoms. Wishing for a speedy recovery.
