Patient's question:
The baby has had a runny nose for nearly 10 days and has just started coughing at 3 years old. Should they take medicine? They have previously used antibiotics, so do they need to take medicine?Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition is likely due to a weaker immune system, leading to a viral cold. This is why the cold lasts longer and the symptoms tend to recur. It is advisable to visit the hospital for chest X-ray and blood tests to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. In daily life, it is important to promptly supplement the child with various nutrients needed for physical growth and development. Encourage more outdoor exercise and activities to breathe fresh air. Go to bed earlier in the evening to ensure sufficient sleep.
