Patient's question:
The baby is 40 days old, and there is always mucus in his nose. After using the nose clip to remove it, it appears again. He also spits up frequently. Is this normal or is he catching a cold? His face had previously developed a heat rash or eczema, which improved after applying Elderberry Infant Antibacterial Cream. Yesterday, his face turned red again.Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is due to being over-wrapped, leading to excessive sweating and then catching a cold. It is recommended to take pediatric Ganma Huangna Ming granules and Cefixime granules orally, and use Fumad diluted by half for nasal drops. This treatment will help clear the nasal passage and resolve the issue. Avoid over-wrapping the child anymore. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby has nasal mucus and a red face around 40 days old?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
