Patient's question:
The baby just fell asleep for more than ten minutes during the nap and started crying. No matter how I try to comfort him, it doesn't work, whether it's daytime or nighttime. What's going on? He's been a bit coughing and having a runny nose these days.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it may be considered acute upper respiratory tract infection. After falling asleep, nasal mucosal congestion can affect lung ventilation, making it easy for the child to cry. Specific diagnosis can be further confirmed through detailed examination. It is recommended to prevent anxiety and tension, and seek follow-up care at a regular hospital pediatric department as soon as possible. Blood tests, including complete blood count and C-reactive protein, can be conducted to determine if antibiotic treatment is needed. For the time being, oral administration of pediatric paracetamol and chrysanthemum granules (Xia'er Anfei Huang Namin Granules) can be considered for symptomatic relief.
