Question

My baby is coughing but doesn’t want to take medicine. Are there any other ways to deal with this? The situation is fine when the baby is awake, but as soon as they fall asleep, they start coughing. Apart from the coughing, there are no other issues. We previously treated it with Aixin, and we hope to get some help.

Answer

The baby’s cough may be caused by viral infections in the urinary tract or lungs. If there are symptoms of fever, it may be a sign of pneumonia, and you can try using cough syrup and azithromycin granules for treatment. If the condition improves, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. During treatment, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, eat easily digestible food, and avoid too many snacks. At the same time, pay attention to monitoring the baby’s temperature changes, stay in an air-conditioned environment for a longer period of time, and reduce the use of air conditioning when you return home.
