Question
I recently noticed that my two and a half month old baby is spitting up foam and also has coughing. I would like to ask what could be the cause of this, and how should I assist the baby?
Answer
For infants of this age, the occurrence of spitting up foam and coughing is often a sign of pneumonia. Since the symptoms in infants may not be typical, there may not always be fever or cough. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take their baby to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible to obtain an accurate diagnosis. It is very important to receive timely treatment under a doctor’s guidance. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
