Patient's question:
A 2-month-old child had a cold a few days ago and now has severe nasal congestion. They took Granules of Paracetamol, Yellow Antihistamine, and Cough Suppressant, but it hasn't shown any improvement. Should they continue taking Granules of Paracetamol, Yellow Antihistamine, and Cough Suppressant?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition should be a result of nasal mucosal congestion caused by a cold, leading to nasal congestion. Although the cold has subsided on its own, the nasal congestion symptoms will gradually improve, and symptoms such as yellow nasal discharge or thick nasal mucus may reappear. It is recommended that you give the child more water and focus on oral administration of anti-inflammatory medications like Cefixime granules for a period of time. Carefully examine the nasal cavity to see if there is nasal mucus, help clean it, and also apply appropriate cold compresses.
