Question
The 3.5-month-old baby has been occasionally coughing for the past few days. Recently, the baby’s sleep at night has been affected due to bloating, and sometimes coughs when straining. It is uncertain whether this is caused by a cold or from swallowing saliva. How should it be treated?
Answer
When caring for a 3-month-old baby, attention should be paid to the hygiene of breastfeeding, keeping the nipple clean, and washing hands after the baby’s bowel movements. The baby’s stool may be affected by the mother’s breast milk, so the mother should pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid fried foods and cold drinks, and eat regularly. You can give the baby Bifidobacterium Triple Action Live Bacteria Powder, twice a day, with one packet per dose, taken with warm water half an hour after feeding.
