Healthworker Felix examining José, a baby with a bad cold

I went to visit the home of a family in my village because I heard their son was coughing a lot, which could mean pneumonia or a cold. I asked the mom how long the baby had been coughing and she said he has always coughed a lot, since he was born. I asked if the baby has had diarrhea or has been vomiting. She said no, just the coughing has been persistent. I told Cecilia that she needed to give the baby the medication as instructed, for no more than three days. "If you notice he has diarrhea or he starts vomiting, please look for me so that I can support you," I said.
