A 2-month-old infant with cough may appropriately consume loquat syrup. Loquat syrup helps suppress cough and promotes metabolism without typically worsening the condition. However, if the cough persists, treatment with medications such as azithromycin granules should be undertaken only under a physician’s guidance to prevent disease progression. Additionally, complementary use of drugs like Fritillaria-Loquat Syrup may aid recovery.
