Question
How should I handle my two-year-old daughter’s cough accompanied by mild pneumonia, and her still relatively coarse breathing?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby has mild pneumonia and usually requires at least a week of focused anti-inflammatory treatment, along with pulmonary-cooling and blood-cooling herbs, and adequate fluid intake. During the recovery period, a relatively coarse breathing sound is common, especially when there is a lot of phlegm. It is recommended to continue the current treatment and observe any changes in the baby’s symptoms.
