Question
My 7-month-old baby has been coughing non-stop after falling asleep at night, feeling like there’s phlegm that can’t be coughed up! It’s been almost 10 days now, and the blood test was fine, but the coughing persists.
Answer
Based on your description and the child’s condition, it is likely that the child has bronchitis caused by an upper respiratory tract infection. I suggest you visit a nearby pediatric clinic or hospital for a check-up and consider using nebulizer treatment. The child may have a viral infection, so it is recommended to take oral antiviral liquids, Er Chen Qing Fei syrup, and Azithromycin granules. Also, ensure the child drinks plenty of water, avoids catching a cold, and wish for a speedy recovery!
