Question
How to handle a 4-month-old baby who is coughing and has diarrhea?
Answer
The baby had a cough that improved after a few days of treatment, but now it’s coughing again. This time, the baby didn’t have diarrhea, just coughing, and the doctor prescribed capsules. The baby had diarrhea three times a day for the past two days. The next day, I fed the baby probiotics, and the baby’s cough has improved, but there’s a bit of hoarseness in the throat. What should I do? Previous treatment and effects: bronchitis, taken An’erning granules, amoxicillin, and received Xiyanning buttock injections. Now, the baby coughs two times when crying. What kind of help can I get? Please ask how my baby got better and then started coughing again; it’s been a month now, and he’s been coughing all this time. What precautions should I take? The baby’s coughing symptoms may still be due to bronchitis. I suggest that parents take the baby to the hospital for a timely re-examination. After the doctor’s diagnosis, use nonaphthine lung syrup and pediatric expectorant cough granules for treatment. In daily life, be careful not to feed the baby with greasy foods or shrimp sticks, potato chips, and other puffed foods. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm and preventing colds from striking. Pay attention to whether diarrhea is caused by indigestion.
