Question
My 8-month-old baby has started coughing and has clear nasal discharge, with a good spirit. How should I treat the cough?
Answer
Children’s coughs are often caused by catching a cold, infection, or eating too cold food. When caring for a baby with a cough, it’s important to avoid giving them cold foods to prevent worsening the condition. Proper dietary adjustments can effectively help recovery during a cold and cough. It is recommended to use Etanercept oral solution, which is a composite formula containing clenbuterol and can be used to treat symptoms such as cough, thick phlegm, difficulty expectorating, and wheezing. The recommended dosage for children under 12 years old is 2.5 to 15 milliliters per dose, taken twice a day. During the fever period, the baby should be given adequate rest and sufficient fluid intake, and recovery is typically expected within 5 to 7 days.
