Question
A 9-month-old male baby, who has been in good health, developed a cough after a few days of cold. This was accompanied by indigestion and loose stools, and there was weight loss. After medical consultation, he was diagnosed with dehydration and received intravenous treatment, which improved his symptoms temporarily. However, no further cough treatment was administered, and now the cough has intensified. What is the appropriate treatment method?
Answer
It is recommended to give the child pediatric lung-clearing and expectorant granules and increase fluid intake. The diet should be light, with watermelons allowed but meat should be reduced. Additionally, it is important to keep the back warm and use Bellacollin to reduce mucus. Follow medical instructions and maintain good hygiene habits.
