Question
An 8-month-old baby from Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province, experienced coughing with phlegm after treatment at Dongyang City Hospital and was then transferred to Dongyang People’s Hospital in Zhejiang Province for treatment of wheezing.
Answer
Hello, for an 8-month-old baby experiencing cough with phlegm, this could be a sign of bronchitis caused by a cold. It is recommended to administer pediatric cough syrup, Bishouping, in combination with azithromycin or amoxicillin antibiotics for treatment. Additionally, giving the baby some sugared pear juice or cooked pear with Fritillaria can help alleviate symptoms of cough and excessive phlegm. Remember to ensure the baby drinks plenty of water, stays warm, and avoids catching a cold.
