Question
My baby is almost 3 years old and has had intermittent coughing for about a month. It has improved for a week recently, but he started coughing again today. It doesn’t sound like a severe cough caused by tracheitis, but rather a milder one. I don’t want to give him medicine. Are there any good methods? I mainly didn’t want to give him medicine last month if the condition is not serious. What suggestions do doctors have?
Answer
Based on your description of the symptoms, allergic cough cannot be ruled out in your baby. It is recommended to give your baby Montelukast and perform nebulization inhalation therapy with Budesonide and Terbutaline. If the symptoms do not improve, it is suggested to bring your baby to the hospital for chest X-rays and blood routine checks to determine if pneumonia is present.
