Question
What kind of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms fall under pediatric medicine? How should baby coughs be treated?
Answer
Coughing is a normal physiological response to respiratory inflammation, serving the purpose of clearing secretions from the airways. However, excessive or frequent coughing may lead to vomiting. It is recommended to take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication while also using expectorants and, if necessary, humidifying the airways. Additionally, drinking plenty of water to maintain body hydration and taking precautions against catching a cold can help alleviate the baby’s cough symptoms. For parents, children have weaker physical resistance and are more prone to pediatric diseases. Therefore, when children feel unwell, it is important to take them to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment promptly, and follow the doctor’s guidance for symptomatic treatment.
