Question
How to treat a two-month-old baby who coughs a few times?
Answer
If a baby just occasionally coughs, it might be due to chronic bronchitis or a reaction from throat irritation. You can use pediatric lozenges or cough syrup to relieve the symptoms, and antibiotics may be prescribed if necessary. If the baby has a stuffy nose, massaging the sides of the nostrils at the Yingxiang acupoint can help relieve nasal congestion, and it’s important to maintain good ventilation and air circulation indoors.
