Question
My one-month-old baby always coughs heavily after eating. We haven’t received any treatment yet. I want to know how to seek help and whether there are any medications that can treat this condition.
Answer
This situation is usually caused by slightly poor digestive system function. Parents can try giving the baby pediatric massage or acupuncture, which often has a certain effect. If they are not familiar with these techniques, they can search for related information online; it’s generally not difficult to learn. If they really don’t understand acupuncture, giving the baby a sip of warm water during a coughing fit can also help soothe the baby. Usually, no medication is needed.
