Patient's question:
I've had a cold for half a month and it hasn't gotten better. I'm a bit stuffy. It seems the baby is quite uncomfortable. I'd like to ask for your help from an expert.Past treatment and effectiveness: I took some children's paracetamol and antihistamines, as well as some anti-inflammatory medication.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, there is an acute upper respiratory tract infection with young children, and the treatment is not thorough. Inflammation remains in the nasal mucosa, requiring further anti-inflammatory treatment. You can buy antibiotic nasal drops or eye drops at a pharmacy. First, clean the nasal cavity with clean water, pay attention to gentle movements, then apply 2-3 drops of antibiotic solution, 2-3 times a day. This should effectively heal the inflammation of the nasal mucosa, and the effect is direct and safer than oral medication with fewer side effects.
