Patient's question:
Please ask if a 17-day-old baby with a stuffy nose but no fever needs to see a doctor at the hospital, or if it's necessary to take medicine? The illness has lasted for 3 days, and no medicine has been taken or doctor has been seen. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you need: Is it necessary to see a doctor at the hospital, or is it necessary to take medicine?Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition has mild cold-like symptoms, which generally include coughing with phlegm and runny nose. Early symptoms will not be fully present. In your child's case, medication can be avoided for now. I recommend that your child first focus on rest. A light, warm, and easily digestible diet is very important. It is advisable for your child to drink more water and try drinking pear soup for consumption. It has a good effect. If it doesn't improve, medication can be considered for treatment. Generally, Children's Paracetamol and Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim Granules and Amoxicillin Granules are sufficient.
