Question
A four-month-old baby has developed a dry cough after a fever. How should it be handled?
Answer
It is advised for parents to take their child to a pediatric hospital for consultation, as persistent coughing may lead to pneumonia. According to age restrictions, children under three months should not be given salt, and those under one year should not consume honey. You can try boiling pear water with Fritillaria thunbergii, but the dosage should be one-fourth of the adult amount. It is still recommended to consult with a professional for advice, as different causes of cough may require different treatment methods.
