Question
A four-month-old baby has recently been experiencing diarrhea, occurring about three times a day, accompanied by a mild cough. Tonight, the cough has intensified, with vomiting and even regurgitation of stomach contents.
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, it is first recommended that parents measure the baby’s body temperature to confirm if there is a fever, which can help rule out the possibility of a cold. In terms of medication, consider purchasing and administering children’s cold syrup granules and emergency syrup to help the baby fight off viruses and clear the lungs. Additionally, ensure the baby drinks plenty of warm water and maintain warmth. If the condition does not improve or worsens, it is advisable to take the baby to the pediatric department of a hospital for an appointment and treatment.
