Patient's question:
The baby had a slightly runny and sticky nose two days ago and a slightly red throat. She was given some cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medication. Yesterday she felt better, but this morning she seems to occasionally cough with a bit of phlegm. What could be the reason? Usually, they are given antibiotics like cephalexin for anti-inflammatory purposes.Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition is still symptomatic of a respiratory infection. Since the medication has shown some improvement, it's best to focus on taking the medicine. It's recommended to drink more water and follow a light, easily digestible diet. Focus on taking yesterday's anti-inflammatory and cold medications to address the symptoms. At least three days of stability are needed.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby has a bit of sticky nasal discharge and a red throat?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
