Question
The baby is four months old and has a mild cough and clear runny nose, with watery stools. The cough is more severe upon waking up in the morning and less so during the day. What type of infection might this be, and are there non-medication treatment methods?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, it is initially suspected that the baby may have a gastroenteritis-type acute upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital pediatric department for a consultation to check for bacterial infection, to determine whether further treatment is necessary. That’s all for the answer to “Does a four-month-old baby with a mild cough and clear runny nose need medication treatment?” I hope the baby recovers soon and stays healthy every day.
