Severe cough and mucus
Hello Doctor, my baby is born on 27th February 2024 in Frankfurt Germany. He is just 2 months old. He was having issues related to breathing after he born but recently he got pneumonia and admitted in hospital since 20days. Doctor gave some antibiotics for 5 days and stopped. Also could see lungs are better now in x-ray but still having infection. He is having still cough and lots of mu cus around his möuth and he is unable to drink milk as before. Can you please advise if any cough syrup or other medicine can be given? Also can I give mucolite drop for cough as here doctors are not giving anything except inhalation.
