Question
My baby coughed a few times yesterday during the day, and around 4 am last night, he coughed continuously for ten or so times. This morning, I found a little phlegm. Can I give him some Rock sugar pear water (rock sugar pear water)?
Answer
Based on your description of the symptoms, your baby’s cough may not be excluded as being caused by viral or bacterial infection? In this case, do not give your child rock sugar pear water, as drinking sugary water may alleviate cough symptoms. According to your description of the symptoms, I first suggest that you, as parents, take some time to bring your child to the pediatric department of your local general hospital for a follow-up visit. First, have the child’s blood tested for routine bloodwork to see if the cough symptoms are caused by viral or bacterial infection.
