Patient's question:
The baby is now 7 weeks old. In the past two days, it has been a bit fussy. The baby's voice has even become hoarse from crying. When held in the arms, the baby can fall asleep, but as soon as it is put down to bed, it wakes up. There is phlegm in the baby's throat. Sometimes when the baby burps, a clump of phlegm comes out, and it's yellow in color. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you've described, is the baby crying and having a runny nose due to a cold? You can give the child Xiao Er Qing Fei Gan Jie Gran. First, we recommend taking the child to a reputable Grade III-A hospital for a follow-up visit in the pediatric department. Have the child tested for calcium, iron, zinc, and other ions. Check how the child is crying due to calcium deficiency, causing restlessness. Carefully examine the child's tonsils for inflammation. Based on the examination results, provide symptomatic treatment.
