Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. What should I do if a five-month-old baby has yellow nasal mucus?Doctor's answer:
Currently, most colds are caused by influenza viruses, and treatment primarily focuses on antiviral medications. Combining them with azithromycin can enhance effectiveness. For those with severe cough, expectorant and cough-relieving medications like Jujube Red Phlegm Cough Decoction can be taken. When fever occurs, physical cooling is the preferred method, and antipyretic drugs may be used if necessary. Rest and hydration are also important.If the nasal discharge is yellow, it may indicate a viral infection. For common colds, medications such as Mulberry Orange Cold Tablets, Children's Cold Decoction, Banlangen Decoction, Forsythia and Gentian Decoction, and Lushen Pills, along with vitamin C, are generally sufficient.
