Question

What’s causing the 8-month-old baby’s morning cough?

Answer

Coughing is a common symptom of inflammation and can be a result of the baby being infected with bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma. Since infants have weaker immune systems, they are more susceptible to infections. It is recommended to first observe whether the symptoms worsen or recur. If the situation deteriorates, seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay attention to proper care methods, such as feeding appropriately, avoiding cold exposure, adjusting clothing according to weather changes, reducing contact with susceptible individuals, and maintaining good indoor air circulation. From multiple aspects, provide a stable environment to promote the baby’s recovery.
