Once a baby in the postpartum period encounters a cold or cough problem, parents should promptly take the child to the hospital for examination and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. Typically, initial treatment can focus on strengthening daily care, such as adjusting indoor temperature and humidity, adding clothing in a timely manner to address discomfort caused by temperature differences. If the baby has a fever, appropriate physical cooling measures, such as cold compress, are also necessary to help normalize body temperature and prevent affecting the recovery process.
In terms of medication intervention, if the cold and cough are caused by bacterial infection, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics like amoxicillin granules, cefuroxime granules to control inflammation. For the need to expectorate and suppress cough, pediatric cough syrup, ambroxol oral solution, and other medications are commonly used options to be used under a doctor’s guidance. For bronchospasm conditions accompanying viral infections, nebulization therapy is an effective treatment, with commonly used medications such as budesonide suspension, terbutaline sulfate nebulizer solution, which can relieve respiratory mucosal congestion and edema, accelerating the improvement of the condition.
In addition, ensuring the baby’s adequate fluid intake helps dilute phlegm and promote its elimination, playing a positive role in disease recovery. At the same time, in terms of diet, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided to prevent worsening of symptoms. In daily care, dressing appropriately to adapt to weather changes, wearing masks when going out can effectively reduce the impact of the external environment on the baby’s health, these are all important details that assist in the baby’s recovery.
