Patient's question:
Four-month-old baby. No fever or cough. Just stuffy nose. I gave him medicine. Is everything okay? Will there be any side effects? Can this medicine be taken to prevent the flu without cold symptoms? I give him medicine every time I feel his nose is stuffy.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this for you. Based on your description, it's possible that the baby may have developed a stuffy nose after catching a cold. My suggestion is that, considering the child's condition, it's not advisable to give medication to the baby. Instead, you should encourage the child to drink more water, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid crowded public places. You can also use a warm, damp towel to apply to the nose area, which may help relieve the stuffy nose symptoms. The above is my advice on this issue. I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
