Question

Can a baby’s cough with no fever lead to pneumonia?

Answer

A baby with a cough and no fever but with phlegm in the throat may be showing signs of tonsillitis. It can be treated with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication or by taking oral liquid medicine. At the same time, avoiding spicy and irritating food and drinking plenty of water can help improve symptoms. If symptoms worsen, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent any impact on overall health and well-being.
