Question

What are some good solutions for a four-month-old baby who has a runny nose and cough?

Answer

If the baby has caught a cold with a cold, you can try giving them medications such as Ganlike and Magan Granules, and ensure they drink plenty of water. If there are fever symptoms, you can also administer ibuprofen suspension orally. Additionally, you can give the baby herbal preparations like Lung Heat Cough Syrup and Fresh Bamboo Decoction, along with therapeutic foods like Sichuan Baihe and Rock Sugar Pear. Maintain a light diet and encourage plenty of water to help the baby recover. If the situation is severe, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for blood tests. If the blood count is high, antibiotic treatment may be necessary, with Azithromycin being a good option.
