Patient's question:
A newborn baby was born 8 days ago and has been sneezing, hiccuping, and having yellow nasal discharge. The doctor prescribed medication, but it hasn't helped. Today, the child is 19 days old and still sneezing, hiccuping, and having thick clear nasal discharge. What should I do? There are no other symptoms, and the baby is eating, sleeping, and napping well. In the past two days, the baby has been spitting up some curdled milk, but not much. The nasal congestion improves during naps but worsens after waking up. Will this continue to affect the baby's nose? I have attached the medication prescribed by the doctor below. It hasn't been effective, and it has been 11 days already.Doctor's answer:
Baby has a stuffy nose, runny nose, and frequent hiccups, which may be considered a upper respiratory tract infection. For cold symptoms, it is recommended to keep the baby warm, give them some water to drink, and provide children's cold effervescent tablets for consumption. The mother should also pay attention to prevention to avoid infecting the baby. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if a newborn has a stuffy nose, sneezes, and runny yellow nose at 8 days old?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
