How to treat a baby coughing up milk while feeding?

Answer

Tracheobronchitis is an acute inflammation of the tracheal-urethral mucosa caused by factors such as biological, physical, chemical impacts, or allergies, with main symptoms including coughing and expectoration. Treatments include: 1. General care involves adequate rest, increased fluid intake, and prevention of inhaling irritating gases. 2. For those with mild cough, symptomatic relief can be provided with oral cough syrup (25mg, three times a day) or bupropion (20-40mg, three times a day) or dextromethorphan (15-30mg, three times a day); for patients with phlegm, ambroxol hydrochloride (30-60mg, three times a day) or compound licorice syrup (10ml, three times a day) can be administered. Avoid strong cough suppressants like codeine.
