Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they keep scratching their ears. How should I handle a stuffy nose in a child that makes it difficult for them to sleep?Doctor's answer:
If the child also has symptoms such as a runny nose and sore throat, it is usually a cold. You can use children's cold medicine like Anfen Huangna Min, which helps relieve nasal congestion. You can also use Furama nasal drops to relieve nasal congestion immediately.Hello, based on your description, the baby likely has a cold due to catching a chill. You can try giving Anlike and Mahang Granules. Additionally, get a blood test done. If the blood test results are high, antibiotics may be needed. Azithromycin works well. Let the baby drink more water. If there is a fever, you can take ibuprofen suspension orally. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
