Question
My baby started running a nose last Wednesday and has a slight cough. The coughing is severe at night, but better during the day. We have already taken pediatric lung heat cough granules, pediatric paracetamol and chlorphenamine, and amoxicillin. There was no coughing last night, but we ate a lot of snacks during the day. Although the coughing has eased tonight, there is still intermittent coughing when sleeping. I am worried about the recurrence of symptoms and whether the condition has worsened.
Answer
Hello, the recurrence of a runny nose and cough may be a persistent symptom of respiratory infection. After an infection, coughing may reoccur. If the symptoms continue to improve, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of bronchitis or pneumonia. It is recommended to continue monitoring and seek medical attention promptly. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a speedy recovery.
