Question
A 47-day-old female infant has a body temperature of 36.1 degrees Celsius and occasionally experiences a few consecutive coughs with hiccups, with no other symptoms. She has not received any treatment. Is there a solution without medication?
Answer
Based on the description, the newborn’s cough and hiccups may be caused by a common cold due to catching a cold. It is recommended to give the child Acetaminophen and Chlorpheniramine granules for treatment and to pay attention to choosing easily digestible foods in the diet. It is hoped that the child will recover soon.
