Why does a child have a cough, inflammation, nose breathing, and fever?

Patient's question:

The child had a sore throat and fever with a stuffy nose a few days ago. They were given anti-inflammatory medication for 2 days, and the cough has improved slightly. However, they still have a bit of coughing these last two days, but the nose is stuffy much more severely! What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, the baby has a cough and a sore throat, which is still considered a upper respiratory infection. Given the baby's current condition, with nasal congestion relieved, it is possible that it may still be caused by a cold. You can take some infant paracetamol and pseudoephedrine granules, use hot water to steam the nose, and drink more water. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if my child has a cough, inflammation, and continuous nasal breathing with fever?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
