What should I do if my baby coughs and has phlegm? Is it asthma? Don\’t be nervous, the answer is…

Question 1: My baby is 8 months old. He had bronchiolitis when he was 2 months old. Later, he always coughed and wheezed with phlegm. I went to the doctor today and he said it was asthma. He said it was a genetic problem. I would like to ask what happens to asthma as he gets older. Okay? Can asthma be cured? Dr. Wang Jing’s answer: Asthma is generally not diagnosed within eight months unless there is a clear family history, because the definition of asthma is not sufficient. The situation you are talking about should be bronchiolitis, which is related to the baby\’s obesity and allergic constitution, and it can be cured. If it is determined to be asthma, it will get better as you get older, but there is currently no cure. Question 2: My baby has thrush in his mouth. Does he need any medicine? Dr. He Jiexin answered: You can apply sodium bicarbonate oral solution to the child, and rinse the mouth with saline after each meal; or grind nystatin tablets and mix with cod liver oil and apply. Apply it two or three times a day, just apply it evenly with a cotton swab. These two medicines can be used alternately. Question 3: The baby is more than four months old. He was born with congenital cocklebur. He has been afraid to touch it and does not touch it very much. In the past two days, it has been a little red and swollen, but no pus has leaked. What should I do? If the redness and swelling disappear in the future, should we just leave it alone? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: Now use iodophor to disinfect and apply Baiduobang ointment, and pay attention to disinfection and hygiene. If there is no redness or swelling in the future, you can leave it alone for now. However, if this kind of infection occurs frequently, it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible. If there is no infection, you can have major surgery.
