How to Handle a 11-Month-Old Baby with Clear Nasal DischargeHow to Handle a 11-Month-Old Baby with Clear Nasal Discharge
Previous Treatment and Effect: A few days ago, the baby had a fever during the day, but the temperature wasn’t particularly high, so we didn’t go to the hospital. By that night, the fever had subsided. The next day during the day, there was no fever, but by the next night, the baby had a high fever. However, it improved during the day afterward, and after two more days, there hasn’t been any fever again.
Help Needed: Occasionally, the baby has a little clear nasal discharge and sneezes occasionally, but very rarely. It’s probably nothing serious. When sleeping, you can hear the sound of nasal mucus. What should be done to ensure a complete recovery?
Doctor's answer:
According to your purchase situation, it is generally considered a upper respiratory infection caused by a virus or bacterial infection. You can test under the guidance of a doctor: preparations containing diphenhydramine or ketotifen, etc. It is recommended to check a complete blood count. If there is evidence of a bacterial infection, it is suggested to use the above antibiotics (cefaclor, cefixime——if you are not allergic, test accordingly). If it is only a simple viral infection, it is recommended to use some antiviral drugs (ribavirin granules, Qingkailing oral liquid, etc.). Drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, and take appropriate amounts of vitamin C. Wishing you health and happiness every day!
