Patient's question:
Male infant, 25 days old, previously in good health, fed with formula milk. This condition has lasted for a week: nasal congestion, runny nose, and difficulty breathing; frequent vomiting. Treatment history and effectiveness: No follow-up at the hospital. No allergies or hereditary diseases. What kind of help is needed: Should I give him medication? Is it okay not to give him medication?Doctor's answer:
Nasal congestion has two causes: one is the presence of secretions in the nasal cavity; the other is congestion and edema of the nasal mucosa after infection with viruses or bacteria, leading to nasal congestion. Vomiting usually occurs because a newborn's stomach is in a horizontal position, making it easy to vomit or spill milk. Around six months, this issue tends to improve gradually.If the baby has nasal congestion and is running a nose, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further tests, such as a blood test, to determine whether it is a bacterial or viral infection. This will help in prescribing the appropriate treatment.
The above advice is for the question "My 25-day-old baby has nasal congestion, runny nose, and seems to be having difficulty breathing—what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
