Question
The baby fell ill three days ago, with the main symptoms being coughing, sneezing, and running nose. Medication was picked up at the outpatient clinic, and after taking it for three days, the baby suddenly had phlegm in the throat and difficulty breathing.
Answer
Considering it might be caused by an upper respiratory infection, usually due to a viral infection. It is suggested to give the baby pediatric expectorant cough granules and ribavirin granules. If the baby has difficulty taking medication, nebulization inhalation with ammonium bromide solution can be used, which is effective. At the same time, make sure to keep the baby well-hydrated, pay attention to changes in body temperature, and wish the baby a speedy recovery.
