Question
The baby has a cough at night, sometimes accompanied by dry retching, and is in good spirits. However, there is a lot of phlegm, and the baby needs to sit up straight to breathe comfortably. There is also a sound in the throat while drinking milk. How should this be handled?
Answer
It is recommended to drink plenty of water, and if there is inflammation, antibiotic treatment may be necessary. Fresh bamboo extract syrup can be tried to help with expectoration. If oral medication is ineffective, intravenous treatment is suggested. Please use medications such as Kardici, cough syrup, or Ettanquity under the guidance of a local doctor. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
