What should I do if my baby has a cough?

Babies' coughing can be relieved through methods such as back patting, environmental improvements, physical therapy, use of anti-allergy medications, and use of cold medicines.

1. Back Patting: A baby's cough may be a physiological airway-clearing mechanism that helps remove foreign substances or secretions from the respiratory tract. In such cases, gently patting the baby's back can help expel phlegm or foreign materials, thereby alleviating the cough.

2. Environmental Improvements: Parents should pay attention to the baby's environment, keeping indoor air fresh and avoiding smoke and air pollution. Additionally, adjust the baby's clothing promptly according to weather changes to reduce respiratory irritation.

3. Physical Therapy: For coughing caused by aspiration or swallowing of foreign objects, prompt medical attention is recommended. Doctors may use physical methods such as tapping or massage to help the baby expel the foreign object, thereby relieving the cough.

4. Anti-Allergy Medications: If the baby has an allergic reaction to allergens in the environment, coughing may occur. Under a doctor's guidance, anti-allergy medications can be used to reduce allergic reactions and alleviate cough symptoms.

5. Cold Medications: If the baby displays symptoms of a common cold, cold medications can be used under the guidance of a doctor, such as infant phlegm-resolving and cough-relieving granules, or Cefaclor granules.

When a baby is coughing, parents should closely monitor changes in the baby's condition and seek medical attention promptly if necessary.
