Question
My baby has been coughing for over a month, several times a day. The other night, the coughing became relentless, so we took them to the doctor. The examination of the trachea and lungs showed no issues, and there was no phlegm, but the coughing was very severe.
Answer
Based on your description, if your baby has been coughing for more than a month with no relief, it may be due to bronchitis. It is recommended that you ensure your baby gets enough rest, drinks plenty of water, and avoids spicy, greasy, or foods that may cause diarrhea. Also, be sure to keep your baby warm to prevent catching a cold. In addition, it is advisable to take your baby to the hospital for a chest X-ray and routine blood tests to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment to avoid delaying the condition. I hope these suggestions help, and wish your baby a speedy recovery!
