Question

How to treat a child who frequently coughs?

Answer

It is important to take baby cough seriously, as it may develop into pediatric pneumonia if accompanied by a fever. During treatment, you can try mixing medication with the milk bottle for the baby to take. If the situation does not improve, consider intravenous drip. Although the process is painful, perseverance in treatment is crucial for the baby’s health. Moreover, coughing may be caused by bronchitis, and treatment usually requires a combination of antibiotics, corticosteroids, antihistamines, antivirals, and traditional Chinese medicine. Daily diet should avoid spicy, cold, and other irritating foods, and exercise should be increased to enhance immunity.
