Question
A parent inquired whether their 1-year-old baby can take cough syrup?
Answer
If a baby is experiencing coughing, it may be due to pharyngitis. Parents can administer some anti-inflammatory medications, such as ceftriaxone, and cough syrup under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, encourage the baby to drink plenty of water, maintain a comfortable temperature, and ensure adequate rest. Tonsillitis is a common upper respiratory tract infection that sometimes requires antibiotic treatment, which necessitates an evaluation and prescription by a professional physician.
