Question
The baby has been coughing for a month now, not very frequently, mostly coughing a few times at night, and there is no fever. There is a hoarse sound in the throat during the day.
Answer
This could be due to bronchitis, and it’s recommended to take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and expectorant cough medicine. Avoid smoking and spicy or irritating food, drink plenty of water, increase physical exercise, and avoid catching a cold. There are many causes of respiratory system diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric respiratory disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, reduce gastrointestinal pressure, and develop good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid cold or stimulating foods.
