Question
Why does a two-month-old baby always cough?
Answer
A two-month-old baby’s cough may be caused by a wind-cold common cold. This symptom is characterized by frequent coughing, thin and white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale tongue with thin white coating, loud coughing sounds, accompanied by headache and fever, and possibly wheezing. Consider using Sanao Decoction in combination with herbs for reducing phlegm and clearing the lungs for treatment. Since the basis of asthma is chronic non-specific inflammation, long-term control of chronic airway inflammation is crucial for ideal asthma control. Commonly used medications include inhaled corticosteroids and cromolyn drugs. Additionally, some new medications such as leukotriene modifiers, long-acting beta-2 agonists, and controlled-release theophylline also have certain anti-inflammatory effects.
