Patient's question:
The child is four years old, with nasal congestion, yellow nasal discharge, occasional mild cough, no sore throat, no fever, and in good spirits. They ate dinner well and had normal bowel movements. It has been four days and they are still not better.Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems the baby may have a cold. Colds are usually caused by viral infections and can resolve on their own. The course of the illness typically lasts about a week, with the main focus being rest, drinking plenty of warm water, and eating a light diet. If symptoms improve, it does not rule out a bacterial infection, and further medical examination may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment plans can then be adjusted based on the examination results.The above is advice on this matter. I hope it helps, and wish you a speedy recovery!
