Question

My baby, who is 50 days old, has been constantly coughing without a fever lately and keeps crying. I took him to the hospital, and the doctor said the examination showed nothing abnormal. But why does he keep coughing?

Answer

Coughing in children is itself a symptom of an issue, and it’s possible that the local doctor did not find any abnormalities during the lung examination. The crying could be due to discomfort, possibly caused by a stuffy nose. Here are some solutions:

  1. You can use Double Pseudoephedrine Dispersible Tablets or Wind-Cold Cough Granules for treatment.
  2. If there is phlegm, you can use Carboxymethylcellulose Tablets or Guaifenesin Hydrochloride Oral Solution to thin and expel phlegm.
  3. If the stuffy nose is severe, you can use Fumaramide Nasal Drops to relieve the congestion.
