Question
The newborn has just turned a month old and started to have a mild cough yesterday. There is also occasional nasal congestion. Today, the cough seems to have worsened. The baby seems normal when not coughing, but the cough sounds more severe. How should it be handled?
Answer
It is recommended to give the baby oral pediatric 999 cold granules, pediatric amoxicillin anti-inflammatory medication, and lung-clearing, cooling syrup. During the cold, ensure the baby drinks plenty of warm water, eats more fruits and vegetables, and reduces the intake of greasy fried foods. If fever is present and the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, immediate medical consultation should be sought.
