Question
How should a baby’s cough be treated?
Answer
Children’s coughs are often due to colds, infections in the trachea or lungs, or even eating something too cold. Since children have weaker spleen and stomach functions, it’s especially important to avoid cold and raw foods to prevent the condition from worsening and taking a long time to heal. On the other hand, proper dietary adjustments can often make a big difference in treating children’s colds and coughs. We recommend taking Erythromycin Oral Solution, a compound preparation containing Guaifenesin for the treatment of cough, thick phlegm, difficulty expectorating, and shortness of breath. For children under 12 years old: take orally, 2.5 to 15ml once, twice a day. During the fever period, parents should allow their children to rest more and drink plenty of plain water; generally, they will recover within 5-7 days.
