Treatment Methods for Newborn Cough

Question

How to treat a newborn’s cough?

Answer

Cough with phlegm, with some vomiting when coughing, and running nose, may indicate bronchitis. It is recommended to undergo further chest X-ray or perspective (transillumination) examination. You can take azithromycin or cefixime capsules for treatment. If the symptoms are severe, intravenous antibiotic treatment may be required. If the sputum is thick, you can takeMuxitan (Mucosolvan) or Compound Licorice Oral Solution (compound licorice oral solution) for treatment, and drink plenty of plain water. You can also use nebulizer inhalation therapy in conjunction.
