Question
The 11-month-old baby has been experiencing hiccups, a hoarse voice, and coughing for 15 days. For the past 10 days, there have been symptoms of coughing, sneezing, and a sore throat, with the cough being more severe in the morning and evening. Each cough produces two to three sounds, and there is a sensation of phlegm. What should I do? The baby has been taking Ettanquity and Xike lao twice a day, but the effect is not significant. What medication should be taken? Thank you.
Answer
At present, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the baby has signs of urinary or lung inflammation. It is recommended to bring the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination. Have the doctor listen for signs of inflammation and provide symptomatic treatment. If oral medication is not effective, consider intravenous treatment. Drink plenty of water. If the symptoms do not improve after a long time, it is advisable to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. I hope the above answer can be of help to you, and wish your baby a speedy recovery!
