Question
How much cough medicine should a baby take? The baby has phlegm, occasionally has clear nasal discharge, no fever, and the lung percussion is normal. The baby has been coughing for two days with slight nasal discharge and phlegm. There is no fever. The baby is breastfed and behaves as usual, weighing 6.5 kg. Desired assistance: Hello, how much should I give my child the pediatric Paracetamol and Chlorphenamine granules?
Answer
It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination. Parents should not administer medication to such a young child on their own, as it may easily put additional strain on the child’s kidneys. When caring for a baby with a fever, attention should be paid to: 1. Allow the child to rest sufficiently; the younger the child, the more rest they need, and they can only fully recover after symptoms disappear. 2. Adjust diet and nutrition; for children who change diapers, temporarily increase the frequency to avoid vomiting and other digestive disorders. 3. Keep the living room quiet and fresh; frequently open doors and windows to promote ventilation and air exchange. The indoor temperature and humidity should always be maintained at a moderate level, not too high or too low or too damp. Strictly prohibit alcohol in the room and regularly sterilize it to prevent industrial pollution, always keeping the indoor environment clean and tidy. Wishing you good health!
