Question
A one-month-old baby has throat inflammation with mild cough, frequent hiccups, but is able to eat and sleep well. The baby has previously taken amoxicillin and children’s paracetamol hydrochloride, but the effect seems minimal.
Answer
Throat inflammation in a one-month-old baby accompanied by cough may be caused by fever. The primary treatment should be aimed at combating inflammation. Oral medications have been ineffective, and it is recommended to undergo intravenous therapy as this can quickly increase the concentration of the medication and effectively treat the condition. If there is phlegm with the cough, you can try using fresh bamboo clear oral liquid. It usually takes 7 to 10 days to recover naturally. If symptoms do not improve after 3 to 5 days, it may be necessary to change medications.
