A 5-month-old baby with coughing should visit the pediatrics department at a reputable hospital. If the cough is caused by a common cold, drinking pear juice with rock sugar may help alleviate symptoms. If the effect is not significant, medications such as acetaminophen chlorpheniramine granules or compound bamboo沥 oral liquid can be administered under a doctor's guidance. If the cough is caused by pneumonia, oral administration of cefaclor granules may be used following medical advice. Additionally, compound licorice tablets may be taken orally as directed by a physician to relieve symptoms.
