Patient's question:
Three-month-old baby had a stuffy nose and runny nose half a month ago, but now she doesn't have a runny nose anymore. Everything is normal during the day, and she sleeps normally at night. However, in the later half of the night, her nasal cavity starts making snoring sounds, and the pain makes it difficult for her to take a nap. What could be the reason? Is it sinusitis? Or is it still a cold that hasn't gone away? How should it be resolved?Doctor's answer:
Because he didn't have a stuffy nose during the day, and his nose was already clear when he started his nap. The combined symptoms are considered to be mild adenoid hypertrophy or mild nasal congestion, which manifest when he breathes deeply at night. The child is quite sensitive to cold, and it's quite common for this to happen again. It doesn't need to be a concern, as many medications are still not suitable for use. As the child grows older and his immunity weakens, it will generally improve.
