Question
What medicine should I give my baby who is coughing, wheezing, and has phlegm?
Answer
Coughing is a protective physiological phenomenon in babies. If accompanied by fever, it may be caused by inflammation, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up and prescribed symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Recurring fever and coughing may indicate inflammation of the tonsils, trachea, or lungs, and it is important to seek medical attention promptly and not to take it lightly.
