Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. How should I handle a newborn's cold with nasal congestion for 4 days?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is common to experience coughing, phlegm production, and fever. There is no need to add 0.5 degrees to the measured temperature; if it exceeds 37 degrees, it is considered a fever. You can use children's paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules for treatment. Drink plenty of warm water, and pay attention to keeping warm. If necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.There are many factors that can affect a child's respiratory system. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let the child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
