How to treat baby's cough after fever subsides

Usually in autumn and winter, babies are particularly prone to cold symptoms. This is mainly because the temperature difference in autumn and winter is relatively large. If you are not careful, you may catch a cold. Once you catch a cold, the first symptom is fever. You must actively reduce your child's fever to avoid brain damage. Most babies will cough after the fever subsides, so you need to use some medicine to treat it.
