Question
My baby is almost one year old. The other day, he ate a few biscuits, and he started to have a slight cough yesterday. Today, he has phlegm. What medication can I give him to drink?
Answer
Based on the baby’s symptoms, it is recommended to give a medication that clears the lungs and relieves dryness, rather than antibiotics or expectorants. It is suggested to give the baby some warm water, maintain indoor humidity, and observe if the cough improves. If the symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to take the baby to see a doctor.
