Question
The baby has been coughing for several days now, accompanied by runny nose. They make a whistling sound when breathing, and during severe coughing, they can’t breathe. Past treatment and effects: No treatment has been received. What assistance is needed: What detailed examinations should be done?
Answer
Coughing with a large amount of phlegm may be a symptom of respiratory system diseases such as bronchitis or pneumonia. These conditions usually cause coughing and phlegm. Treatment should involve medications that have both cough-suppressing and lung-cleansing effects, such as lung-clearing syrup. The syrup does not need to be dissolved in water or taken with food. The above is the suggestion for the question ‘What should I do if a four-month-old baby can’t breathe due to severe coughing?’ I hope this helps, and wish you health.
