Question
My 7-month-old baby has a cold with a runny nose, coughing more severely when asleep and less so when awake. She has taken good baby paracetamol amine granules, and her fever has improved, but the cough is still ongoing. How can we quickly and effectively resolve the coughing issue?
Answer
It is recommended to consider intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment, as it has better effects and the medication can reach effective concentrations more quickly. At the same time, you can try using fresh bamboo extract oral liquid to help with expectoration. When caring for the baby, it is important to maintain a moderate indoor temperature and humidity, avoid cold or hot air that may irritate the throat, and increase fluid intake appropriately. Additionally, slightly elevate the baby’s head when sleeping to reduce the reflux of stomach contents and the irritation of the throat by cold air.
