Baby is one and a half years old and has been sneezing and running a nose these past few days. What should I do?

Patient's question:

The baby is one and a half years old. In the past two days, she has been burping and sneezing. I gave her some cold medicine, and today she keeps wanting to be held. When I hold her, she keeps shaking her legs. She never shook her legs before. What could be the reason? Is it normal? Is she just playing or is there a problem?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Consultee,
From the symptoms of hiccups and runny nose in the child, it is likely a common upper respiratory infection, most of which are caused by viral infections. Generally, respiratory viruses will never cause tremors. I recommend performing a brain topography examination for the child. If there are no abnormal indications, it can be treated as a common cold. If there are abnormal waveforms, hospitalization and treatment are necessary. Neuroglican should be used.
