Question
A parent inquired about their baby who experienced improvement in cough symptoms after a week of acupressure and medicinal bath therapy. However, the cough has recurs, and they want to know how to handle this situation.
Answer
After the baby had been suffering from persistent coughing, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible. The cough could be caused by bronchitis or pneumonia due to mycoplasma infection, or it could be asthma. If it is caused by a bacterial infection, the main treatment method is to use antibiotics such as penicillin or erythromycin. If it is caused by a viral infection, antiviral and heat-clearing and detoxifying symptomatic treatment is required, and the use of nebulizer inhalation therapy would be more effective.
