Question
Why has my baby been coughing continuously for several days?
Answer
Your baby may have become hoarse due to prolonged crying, which could be one of the reasons for the persistent cough. It’s advisable to bring your child to a regular hospital’s pediatric and otolaryngology department for a follow-up examination, and to undergo a chest X-ray, blood routine test, and C-reactive protein test. Meanwhile, you can use an oral spray to relieve throat discomfort, and ensure your baby avoids vigorous exercise, maintains a light diet, prevents colds, avoids spicy and irritating foods, and drinks plenty of water. I hope these suggestions will help your baby recover soon.
