Question
My baby is 1 and a half weeks old. A few days ago, she had clear nasal discharge, possibly due to catching a cold. Later, she started coughing with a hacking sound in her throat. We went to the hospital, and they said she had a fever and prescribed Linsutan. We are also taking home-made Azythromycin together. When I told the doctor at home that we have fever-reducing syrup and honeysuckle powder, the doctor said it was also okay to take them. Later, when I got home, I found Children’s Acetaminophen and Chlorphenamine Hydrochloride granules. Can I take them together with Azythromycin and Linsutan?
Answer
If the baby has a recurrence of symptoms such as runny nose, coughing, and phlegm in the throat, it may be acute tracheitis, primarily caused by bacterial infection. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, consume more vegetable and fruit juices, avoid cold exposure, and avoid foods that may cause diarrhea. Oral Yika Dan, Cefixime powder, and expectorant cough powder can be taken for treatment. The above is the suggestion for the question ‘Can a baby take Acetaminophen and Chlorphenamine Hydrochloride for coughing?’ I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
