Patient's question:
My baby is 47 days old. This morning I noticed that one of her eyes was full of eye discharge, which was yellow. It looks like there's mucus in her nose, but it hasn't come out yet. Is she catching a cold? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
I am very happy to help you solve your doubts. According to your description, considering the baby's condition, it is likely a wind-heat cold. Wind-heat cold can be treated with many heat-clearing and detoxifying medications such as Antiviral Oral Liquid, Yinqiao Detoxifying Granules, and Compound Honeysuckle Granules. If there is cough with excessive phlegm, it is recommended to take Xiao'er Qingfei Liangxue Granules together for treatment. You can also drink tea with mint, licorice, chrysanthemum, honey, and mulberry leaves to help clear heat, reduce phlegm, and alleviate cough. In daily life, it is advisable to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits such as bitter melon, pear,, and apple, but avoid overeating and greasy, irritating foods.
