Question

The baby only coughs 2 to 5 times a day, not severe, and does not cough or produce phlegm at night. Now there is a bit of runny nose for 7 days? Previous treatment situation and effect: The baby has been coughing for 3 months. The cough is not severe, only 2 to 5 times a day, without phlegm at night. Now there is a runny nose for 7 days.

Answer

Based on your description, I consider the baby’s condition to be caused by an upper respiratory infection. Children are prone to phlegm with colds, and it requires active treatment to prevent complications such as bronchitis or pneumonia. I suggest using cefaclor granules, fresh bamboo decoction oral liquid, and ambroxol hydrochloride granules for treatment. If necessary, you can also useMuxitannebulizer inhalation. Keep the baby well-hydrated and maintain a uniform indoor temperature. Recovery should occur within about 5 days. Please pay attention to observe the baby’s condition.
