Question
A 14-month-old baby has been experiencing severe coughing with phlegm. After taking lung-clearing syrup, the baby vomits and also spits up milk during coughing. The inquiry is whether there are any other effective lung-clearing remedies.
Answer
Severe coughing in infants may be caused by a common cold leading to tracheitis. It is recommended to use medication for treatment and combine it with nebulization therapy, while also ensuring adequate hydration and maintaining a light diet to promote recovery. Inflammation must be eliminated first to effectively improve symptoms. It is important to avoid irritating foods in the diet to prevent worsening of the condition.
