Question
My baby is now 70 days old and has occasional minor coughing. What could this be? She also sleeps very little during the day. What’s going on?
Answer
Consider bronchitis or pneumonia. It is recommended to see a doctor for percussion and imaging diagnosis, and detailed imaging may be necessary if the condition warrants. Mild infections can be treated with antibiotics. Coughing or mucus can be treated with oral liquid extracts of bamboo leaf or pediatric Dimebon granules. If the condition is severe, intravenous fluid therapy is recommended. Be cautious of Mycoplasma infection, which should be treated with intravenous penicillin or oral azithromycin suspension if it occurs. Pay attention to rest. If there is a fever, antipyretic drugs should be used for symptomatic treatment. May your baby grow healthily.
