Patient's question:
The baby has a runny nose, occasional coughing, nasal congestion, and poor sleep at night, with severe nasal congestion and a persistent clear nasal discharge. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help is needed: What medication to take and how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Baby coughing may be a self-protective reflex action, as the baby coughs out the "garbage" from the respiratory tract. Proper coughing can help the baby clear the mucus from the trachea, aiding in smooth breathing. Nasal discharge is similar; infant coughing and nasal discharge can help the child expel fever viruses from the body.Advice: Use a few drops of saline to dissolve the dry nasal discharge, then have the child blow their nose. Do not immediately resort to medication at the slightest cough or nasal discharge. Medications can cause side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, and drowsiness, and they may also harm the baby's delicate throat.
