Patient's question:
Recently the weather has become hotter, and I always turn on the air conditioner every night. My baby might have caught a cold because of the cool air. He has a stuffy nose and a runny nose, but since he's too young, I don't dare to give him medicine randomly. However, the baby hasn't slept well because of the competition and keeps crying. I want to know what treatments are available for a baby's stuffy nose.What kind of help do I need: What medicine should the baby take for a stuffy nose?
Doctor's answer:
The baby has a runny nose and sneezes, which should be caused by cold air. If the runny nose or nasal congestion occurs in the morning, it is often due to allergies. This type of nasal discharge is clear, but a cold can also cause a runny nose. If it is yellow, it may indicate a viral infection. For a common cold, taking some cold medicine or Radix Isatidis can help. You can also supplement with vitamin C. There is no specific medicine for a cold, so it is best to see a doctor.
