Patient's question:
For over 7 months, the baby has been burping with clear nasal discharge and nasal congestion at night while sleeping. Now he is being given Ge Wang Granules and Xiao'er Ganmao Ning Mixture, but the instructions say this medicine is not suitable for wind-cold colds. Please ask what type of cold the baby has. Thank you.Starting from last night at midnight, he had nasal congestion, and at 10 a.m. this morning, he started taking the medicine. This morning, there were a few drops of blood in his bowel movement. Is it related to the medicine? Do we need to change the cold medicine?
Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby has a cold caused by a weakened immune system after catching a cold, allowing bacteria or viruses to enter the body. The clinical symptoms include runny nose, nasal congestion, etc. I think it's a cold caused by wind-cold. I suggest you take your child to the hospital to consult a doctor, drink more warm water, eat light and easily digestible food, and avoid extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods that are irritating. You can also use nasal drops to relieve nasal congestion. Pay attention to keeping warm and preventing colds to alleviate the symptoms. I hope my explanation helps you.The above is my advice on the question "What should I do if a 7-month-old baby hiccups, has clear nasal discharge, and nasal congestion at night?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
