Question
My baby, who is 6 months old, has started coughing recently. How should I treat it?
Answer
The baby’s cough may be caused by catching a cold. You can give the child Ribavirin capsules and Paracetamol hydrochloride capsules. If the child refuses to take medication, consider seeking treatment from a pediatric acupuncturist for acupuncture therapy, including opening the heaven gate, pushing the Kan palace, kneading the high bone behind the ear, kneading Taiyang and Yingxiang points. These treatment methods can help expel wind and evil, and have a good therapeutic effect on pediatric colds. Moreover, since the child needs to drink milk, any medication taken by the parent may have an impact on the child. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their own health condition and ensure their child’s warmth, hoping for the child’s early recovery.
