Question
My baby is coughing and feels like there’s phlegm in the throat. The lungs are fine. The throat is a bit red, and two doses of medication have already been taken, including cefixime, a combination antiviral formula for all seasons, and pediatric lung-clearing granules. We already have a nebulizer at home. Which medications do we need to buy for the nebulization?
Answer
You can use budesonide for the baby’s nebulization, and you need to purchase the budesonide specifically for nebulization. If the baby also has wheezing symptoms, you can also buy terbutaline. When performing nebulization therapy, be sure to ensure that the nebulizer’s tubes are clean and hygienic to avoid directly introducing bacteria or other pathogens into the respiratory tract. Based on your description, your baby’s condition is suitable for using pediatric lung-clearing tablets or pediatric lung-heat cough asthma granules.
