Patient's question:
A 20-day-old baby has been coughing for three days, occasionally with a whistling sound in the throat. There is also some difficulty breathing through the left nostril, but no fever. The baby is feeding normally and has good bowel movements.Doctor's answer:
A cold may cause symptoms like cough and nasal congestion to reappear. If symptoms such as shortness of breath, rapid breathing, fever, and fatigue reoccur, it indicates that the condition is worsening. Currently, it is necessary to clarify how the condition is being caused by a urinary tract infection or pneumonia. Since the baby is young and has a weak immune system, the condition can change rapidly. It is recommended to visit a hospital and consult a doctor. If necessary, relevant tests such as blood tests and chest X-rays should be conducted. If all tests are normal, oral medication can be administered, and the condition should be closely monitored. Pay attention to preventing colds and enhancing nutrition recently. It is hoped that this information will be helpful to you!
