Question
What to Do When Your Baby Can’t Stop Coughing?
Answer
A persistent cough in babies may be caused by an upper respiratory infection, usually viral. It is also more common during infancy. You can give them some pediatric lung-clearing oral liquid with ribavirin or antiviral oral liquid. Combine this with dietary therapy using fritillaria thunbergii, pear, and rock sugar soup for drinking, which has the effect of clearing the lungs and cooling the blood. During this period, make sure to drink plenty of water and consume fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and keep the indoor air circulating.
