Question
My 5-month-old baby keeps crying in the middle of the night, with hands and feet moving vigorously. Sometimes, they suddenly wake up and cry, with a cough and throat phlegm. How should I assist them?
Answer
This situation in babies is often caused by incomplete development of the nervous system, which is a common occurrence for every baby. Generally, as the baby grows and develops, this condition will gradually improve, so there’s no need to worry too much. For throat phlegm and coughing, you can administer oral medication like Lijunsha Granules or Children’s Cough and Wheezing Liquid. Pay attention to ensuring they consume enough fluids.
