What Should You Do If Your Baby Has a Cough in the Throat?

Question

My baby is one year old and has been prone to colds all winter. Their throat is always making a honking sound, and the situation has worsened recently. They breathe heavily at times but do not have a fever or runny nose. What medication should I give them? They were hospitalized and given intravenous fluids for three days, and the condition improved, but it has worsened again. I hope to get a quick answer on how to treat this.

Answer

This could be a sign of tonsillitis, with inflammation of the tonsils. It’s recommended to administer Cefpodoxime Proxetil Granules, Horehound Capsules, Carboxymethyl Cellulose Tablets, and Children’s Cough Relief Oral Solution. Consider traditional Chinese medicine treatments like Compound Loquat Mixture and Fresh Bamboo Decoction as well. Rest well, keep warm, avoid catching a cold, and drink plenty of water to help the body expel excess fluids.
