Question
The two-month-old baby previously had a runny nose and cough. After taking children’s paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules for three days, I heard phlegm sounds and gave Eitanjing twice the other day. It seemed to improve yesterday, so medication was not given. However, today the congestion has become severe again, occasionally accompanied by coughing, and I can hear phlegm. What kind of medication should I give?
Answer
If the symptoms are caused by a cold, it is important to pay close attention because upper respiratory infections may develop into bronchitis or pneumonia. If the cough persists, consider using Pulilike cough syrup and ambroxol syrup. At the same time, help the baby to pat their back more often, and antibiotics may need to be added if necessary, at least for three days.
