Second, is the runny nose a sign of a cold?
Help needed:
I want to ask the doctor how to treat it, whether it's necessary to get a shot, and what precautions should be taken.
Doctor's answer:
This friend, based on your description, considering your baby's current condition, it appears to be a case of viral upper respiratory tract infection, primarily caused by external wind-cold and viral infection. It can manifest symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, and sometimes mild fever.According to your baby's current condition, medication treatment is not necessary at the moment. You can take the following medications: Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules, Huanghuanglian Granules, and Children's Qingfei Liangxue Granules as prescribed, which have a very good effect. At the same time, pay attention to giving your baby more warm water to drink. I hope my response helps you.
