Question
A two-month-old baby has a cough accompanied by phlegm sounds, and upon examination, it is diagnosed as bronchitis. The parents are concerned about the side effects of medication.
Answer
Baby cough is an inflammatory response caused by bronchial infection. Using anti-inflammatory and expectorant cough-suppressing medication is reasonable. Under the guidance of a doctor, taking the medication according to the prescribed dosage and schedule, side effects are usually negligible. If any discomfort occurs, medication should be discontinued immediately and a doctor should be consulted to ensure there are no drug allergies or other adverse reactions.
