How to treat a newborn with a runny nose, tears, and hiccups?

Patient's question:

Since yesterday afternoon, I've been sneezing continuously, with tears streaming from my left eye but not my right. I've also been running a nose. Today, I've been extremely tired, spending most of the time sleeping except for when I'm sleeping or drinking milk. I just woke up at 8 o'clock and played for a while, but my left eye is still tearing uncontrollably, with sneezes coming one after another. My temperature is 36.5.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify this. Based on the number of cases, this situation may need to be cautious about being caused by colds, cold exposure, or flu, among other reasons. It's also important to be aware of potential causes such as dust exposure or abnormal gas exposure. In this case, the first step is to stabilize emotions, get adequate rest, monitor the child's temperature changes promptly, and appropriately increase indoor temperature and humidity. Oral administration of pediatric paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules can be used for treatment, but it should be taken under the guidance of a physician. If necessary, seek medical advice from a pediatric department in a formal hospital. Wishing your child a healthy and happy transformation.
