Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
When a baby has a cough, medication should be determined based on specific symptoms and underlying causes. If the cough is caused by a common cold and symptoms are mild, gentle cough medicines such as cough syrup may be used, along with maintaining humid indoor air and ensuring adequate fluid intake. If the cough is severe or persists, it could be due to conditions such as bronchitis or pneumonia, in which case antibiotics and cough medications should be used under a doctor's guidance.
