Patient's question:
Since the baby recovered from bronchitis, they have been constantly experiencing runny nose and nasal congestion. The symptoms have been intermittent for 20 days. Previously, the baby was given Cefixime and Azithromycin, as well as Ailang, but the symptoms improved slightly and then returned with some nasal congestion. What could be the reason? Is there still some inflammation? The doctor suggested visiting the otolaryngology department to buy some nasal decongestant medication, but I haven’t picked it up yet.Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
Desired assistance: What medication should the baby take? Can they currently be given Erythromycin or Azithromycin to reduce inflammation?
Doctor's answer:
It is speculated that the baby's stuffy nose symptoms in the above situation are primarily caused by the congestion and edema of the nasal mucosa after a cold. It is recommended to actively treat the symptoms, and the condition will improve quickly. There is no need to worry too much. According to the above situation, it is suggested to actively give the baby oral medications such as Lixunsha Granules and Pudilan Oral Liquid for treatment. At the same time, use nasal drops externally to help alleviate the symptoms. During this period, pay attention to drinking more fluids and avoid eating extremely cold or spicy foods that can easily cause a "hot" constitution. Maintain regular bowel movements. I hope this helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
