Question
How to treat a newborn’s cough? Cough with phlegm, sometimes with vomiting and runny nose.
Answer
The diagnosis may be bronchitis. It is recommended to undergo a chest X-ray or ultrasound examination. Azithromycin or cefixime capsules can be used for treatment. If the symptoms are severe, consider intravenous antibiotic therapy. If the sputum is thick, takeMuxitan (Muxitan) or Compound Licorice Oral Solution (Compound Liquorice Oral Solution), and encourage the child to drink plenty of plain water. Nebulizer inhalation therapy can also be combined. Parents should cooperate with the doctor for gastrointestinal decompression and pay attention to a balanced diet for the child.
