Patient's question:
Before, due to coughing, he went to the hospital. Later, he was diagnosed with acute bronchitis and received intravenous drips for 6 days. After discharge, he no longer coughed but had been experiencing constant nasal congestion and couldn't sleep well during naps.What kind of help is needed: He wants to know if he has a fever, if his bronchitis has returned, or if he might have another illness. What kind of medication should he take?
Doctor's answer:
Persistent nasal congestion is likely a post-fever symptom, related to lingering mild rhinitis and low personal immunity. If it develops into chronic rhinitis, it can be quite difficult to recover completely. In this case, nasal drops can be applied externally for treatment, and measures such as wearing appropriate clothing and getting vaccinated (e.g., the flu vaccine) can help prevent fever. Oral medications like Lìbípiàn (likely a brand name for a nasal decongestant) and Loratadine can also be used for treatment. Drinking plenty of water and enduring the treatment are important, and if necessary, medical examination at a hospital is recommended.The above advice is for the question "Baby's nose is stuffy before and after naps." I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
