What to do when a 6-month-old baby has a cough

The specific treatment of cough in 6-month-old babies is as follows: 1. Most of the coughs are caused by viral colds and can be treated with oral anti-viral drugs, such as anti-viral oral solution or ribavirin pellets, as well as oral phlegm-suppressing drugs, such as aminoglutethimide. If the child’s cough improves, he or she can continue to use the medication at home; if the symptoms tend to worsen, he or she can go to the hospital for further examination and detailed treatment. 2. If the cough is considered to be caused by allergies, phlegm-suppressing medication such as aminoterol oral solution can be given, along with oral anti-allergy medication, such as loratadine or desloratadine. The allergic cough can be significantly relieved with the application of anti-allergic drugs and cough suppressants. If the cough is still severe, nebulizer inhalation, such as terbutaline and budesonide suspension for inhalation, can be used to nebulize the child’s cough, which can significantly relieve the symptoms.
