Question
My baby has started coughing again after stopping medication for a cold, several times a day. Do I need to seek medical assistance?
Answer
After confirming pneumonia, in addition to medication treatment, parents should also take good care of their child at home. First, ensure the child gets adequate rest and maintain a quiet and well-ventilated environment. In winter, use a humidifier to increase indoor humidity, which helps in expectoration. Second, provide the child with balanced nutrition, especially during fever, choosing light, easy-to-digest liquid or semi-liquid foods, and make sure the child gets enough water and juice.
