Patient's question:
The child has been having nasal discharge for two and a half months. Is there a medicine called sulfuric acid? Can it be taken? If not, what kind of medicine should be taken? Currently, other symptoms of the cold are not obvious, just stuffy nose.Doctor's answer:
From the clinical diagnostic information you described, the nasal congestion is related to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of an infant's nose. An infant's nasal cavity is small, nasal passages are short, and the nasal mucosa is soft, with a rich arrangement of capillaries, making it more prone to recurrent bleeding and edema compared to adults. When the nose is blocked, it can affect normal breathing.Recommendations:
1. Apply a warm, damp towel to the baby's nasal root to provide some relief.
2. Briefly use 0.5% ephedrine nasal drops, one drop per side. Use 1-2 times daily, but do not overuse.
