Question

Our baby has been frequently coughing lately, with mild symptoms during the day and worsening at night, sometimes even vomiting. We are worried about this situation. What could be causing it?

Answer

The baby’s cough may be caused by bronchitis, with symptoms usually lessening as the weather gets colder and being more pronounced in the morning and evening. The phlegm is often white and thick. Consider using Sangju Cold Remedy Tablets, Qingjin Zhisou Liuxue Pill, or Chuanbei Pipa Lotion for treatment. Pay attention to keeping warm during cold weather, and seek medical attention promptly if symptoms are severe. You can try giving the baby some steamed garlic water or using ribavirin syrup or spray. If the situation does not improve, it is important to see a doctor immediately. Coughing is a symptom that requires attention and should not be taken lightly.
