Patient's question:
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. That night, the fever subsided. The next day during the day, there was no fever, but that night the baby had a high fever. However, later that day, it improved and remained fever-free for two more days until today.
Help Needed: Occasionally, the baby has a little clear nasal discharge and sneezes occasionally, but very rarely. It’s likely nothing serious. When sleeping, we can hear the sound of nasal mucus. What should we do 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 first) under the guidance of a doctor. If it is only a simple viral infection, it is recommended to use some antiviral drugs (such as ribavirin granules, Qingkailing oral liquid, etc.). Drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and take appropriate amounts of vitamin C. Wish you health and happiness every day!
