Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com
It appears that the nine month old child is suffering from
bronchitis. Child requires
mucolytic agents and bronchodialators, which will help in loosing of sputum and easing the cough. Along with this, if the child is febril, I would advice you a course of antibiotics treatment, to control the infection. You can also administer the
paracetamol dose (SOS, if there is
fever) depending age and weight.
Saline nasal drop is highly recommended for nasal block, to help in to breath better. Apart from this, warm fluids will give soothing effect to child.
Percurssion on the back: when the child stomach is empty, make it lie on your shoulder and give gentle tap.
Hope with this advice your child will feel better, still if the condition worsen let
pediatrician see him.
Your thank you note will be very much appreciated!
With best wishes
Dr. Vishwanath Patil
