How to deal with a five-month-old child with a runny nose

Patient's question:

My child is five months old. He has had a month where his nose always doesn't breathe properly, and occasionally he has a runny nose. But after taking various medications, it hasn't improved. I want to ask, besides a cold, is there another illness that could be causing this condition with his nose?

Doctor's answer:

Answer
Medical Analysis: Hello, the child has a cold with symptoms of runny nose and nasal congestion. It is recommended to give the child more water and use cold medicine for treatment.
Suggestions:
Hello, taking cold medicine such as pediatric paracetamol and phenylephrine granules can help alleviate nasal congestion. Additionally, rubbing the palms together until warm and placing them on the child's Baihui acupressure point at the top of the head can also improve symptoms of runny nose and nasal congestion.
