How to handle cough symptoms in two-week-old babies?

Answer

Cough in two-week-old infants may be caused by a cold due to wind and cold. The symptoms of this condition include frequent coughing, thin, white sputum, and clear nasal discharge. Treatment can include the use of Sanao Decoction along with medications that reduce gas and phlegm. Additionally, when the child has a fever, it is recommended to first use physical methods of cooling, such as wiping the limbs and back with warm water, to reduce body temperature.
