Question
A baby who is under three months old has been constantly coughing recently. The cough is not frequent, but it feels like there’s phlegm that can’t be coughed up. Coughing increases when sleeping, and when eating dinner, coughing leads to vomiting. The baby is energetic, not feverish, nor does it have a cold. However, there’s dry nasal mucus. The baby has seen a doctor and taken some medicine for a few days, but it hasn’t helped much and the situation remains the same. The doctor later said that the trachea isn’t too good and there’s a bit of wheezing, so they should get a shot in the buttocks? What type of cough does the baby have? It’s been going on for so long…
