Children often suffer from colds and coughs, diagnosed with tracheitis, and slightly improved after hospitalization. Parents are concerned about the causes and treatment methods.

The baby has been coughing with mucus for six days, accompanied by runny nose and sneezing without fever. The pediatrician diagnosed it as tracheitis and prescribed penicillin, lung cough medicine, and Zhui Qiao oral liquid. The penicillin was given, but the baby refused the last two because they were too bitter. Instead, Puhua brand pediatric decongestant cough granules were used. After five days of treatment, other symptoms have subsided, but the baby still coughs with mucus, vomits frequently, and has diarrhea. The baby vomits every day and the stool is watery. However, the baby’s spirits have improved. But there is still a raspy sound in the throat.

A few-month-old baby is prone to developing tracheitis from air conditioning, which can be alleviated through medication and improved living environment.
