Question
What should I do when my 5-month-old baby coughs? Lately, family members have had a fever, which might have led to the baby’s infection. The baby has been sniffling, and started coughing last night. She coughed a few times today. What should I do? The baby has never seen a doctor or taken any medicine, and I hope to find the fastest and most effective way to make her feel better.
Answer
It is likely that the baby’s condition is caused by viral fever. I suggest giving the baby oral medications such as pediatric Kefu, Cough and Asthma Liquid, and Cefaclor for treatment, while also ensuring plenty of water intake, avoiding cold or spicy foods, and keeping bowel movements regular. The baby should recover quickly, so there is no need to worry excessively.
