Question

The baby will be two months old in 5 days. For the past 5 days, the baby has been coughing and sneezing, and it seems like there is phlegm in the throat. What medications can be taken?

Answer

Based on the description, the child’s condition may be caused by a cold due to catching a chill. The following measures are recommended:

  1. Use Double-puff Guaifenesin Tablets for cold treatment.
  2. Consider using Wind-Cold Flu Granules for treatment.
  3. Take Coix Seed Tea Tablets (Carbocisteine Tablets) to cool the blood and promote the discharge of nasal secretions.
  4. Take a bath in water boiled with fresh ginger to expel cold and relieve the exterior.
  5. Strengthen cold prevention measures, especially keeping the knees warm. Please note that these suggestions are for reference only, and actual treatment should consult a professional doctor.
