Question
The baby is two months and 21 days old, with a cough and runny nose for four days now. I’ve taken her to the hospital for three days of nebulizer treatment and she’s been taking pediatric lung cough granules. The condition doesn’t seem to be improving; in fact, it seems to be getting worse. What should I do?
Answer
If a two-month-old baby has a respiratory infection, it may not necessarily improve within three days. However, if there is no improvement after taking medication, it may be necessary to consider improper medication use. Cough and runny nose are usually caused by respiratory infections and it is important to determine whether it is a viral or bacterial infection. In daily life, it is important to ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. These are the suggestions for the question ‘What should I do if my child has a cough and runny nose for four days?’ I hope this helps and wish you health!
