11-month-old baby has a runny nose and a fever - what's wrong?

Patient's question:

The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. I'm asking, what's wrong with an 11-month-old baby who has a runny nose and a fever?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it might be a cold caused by wind and cold. Such colds are often triggered by exposure to wind and cold, and they are more common in autumn and winter. It is recommended to use Jing Fang Bai Du San for treatment. Drink more water.
When the nasal cavity becomes excessively dry, the capillaries inside can rupture, leading to bleeding. Clinically, 90% of cases of nosebleeds are due to vascular rupture, resulting in vascular bleeding. In this situation, patients do not need to be too anxious, as most cases can be treated on their own by promptly stopping the bleeding.
When experiencing nosebleeds, you can plug your nose with a cotton ball and tilt your head back to help stop the bleeding more quickly. At the same time, you can also apply a cold towel to your forehead or nose to lower the temperature of your head and nose, thereby reducing the bleeding symptoms. If the bleeding in the nasal cavity is excessive and difficult to stop, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
