Question
My baby has been coughing and his throat is hoarse, always crying and restless. We’ve taken him to the doctor, but the treatment hasn’t helped. I don’t know what’s wrong.
Answer
The symptoms you describe could be tonsillitis, which is an upper respiratory infection. Treatment primarily involves antibiotics, and intravenous administration can be considered. Traditional Chinese medicine, such as the infusion of lanterns, can also be effective. If your baby dislikes taking medicine, you can try Sensilac and Magan granules, and ensure he drinks plenty of water. If your baby has a fever, you can give him ibuprofen suspension. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
