Question
The baby has been coughing for more than a week and the medication hasn’t seen any improvement. The cough is mild, worse in the morning, with phlegm in the throat, no high fever. For the past two days, the baby has difficulty breathing through the nose when going to bed. The patient is a female, born 73 days ago, with a cough for one week. Previous treatment and effects: Revisited a hospital and took another 5 days of medication, but no improvement was seen. Seeking help: How long should I focus on taking the medication before it gets better? Will excessive use of baby’s anti-inflammatory medicine affect the body?
Answer
The current situation suggests it could be due to bronchitis or bronchospasm. Pay attention to preventing colds, and you can use oral liquid Claritin and Zairelin, as well as fresh bamboo sap for treatment. It’s best to go to the hospital for a blood test and chest X-ray to carefully check and confirm the cause of the illness and treatment.
