Question
A few days ago, the baby contracted both the flu and acute pharyngitis. After treatment, the condition improved. However, last night, after a fit of crying, the baby started coughing and showed signs of poor spirits, with no other issues. In this situation, how should one handle it?
Answer
The baby may be experiencing symptoms due to respiratory inflammation, which could include coughing and sputum, as well as a decrease in respiratory sounds. In severe cases, the body temperature may drop. It is recommended to increase fluid intake appropriately, ensure adequate rest and warmth, and take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as cefixime dispersible tablets and lung-clearing cough syrup for adjustment. These measures may help improve the situation. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a healthy recovery!
