1-year-old baby with cough, runny nose, and sore throat, what should be done?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want it to be like this. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What should I do if my 1-year-old baby has a cough, runny nose, and a red, swollen throat?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be a cold-induced cough, caused by exposure to wind and cold. This syndrome is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with Saniao Decoction plus medications that lower Qi and resolve phlegm.
Hello, toothache and swelling are often caused by acute infections such as gingivitis or gingival abscesses. Active treatment should be initiated. Options include penicillin-class or cephalosporin-class antibiotics combined with metronidazole, or levofloxacin combined with metronidazole. Intravenous drip medication is preferred. Additionally, visit a dentist for examination.
