Question
My baby is 8 months old and has been experiencing persistent coughing and wheezing despite medication and nebulizer treatment. Symptoms are particularly severe in the morning and worsen with activity. What could be the cause, and how can we alleviate and treat the condition?
Answer
If your baby is experiencing cough and wheezing, it’s advisable to first check for allergens to understand what the baby is allergic to and to avoid exposure. During episodes of wheezing, anti-infection medications or nebulizer treatments can be used to alleviate symptoms. It’s important to avoid allowing the baby to cry or engage in high-intensity physical activity. Especially when treating wheezing, medication should be administered according to a doctor’s guidance. It is recommended to seek treatment from a pediatrician, preferably at a large hospital, for proper treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to maintaining the air quality in the baby’s living environment.
