How to deal with a ten-month-old baby always having a runny nose?

Patient's question:

At first, I had clear nasal discharge and mild hiccups. I didn't take any medicine. Two days later, I started coughing slightly. I took Cephalosporin Granules and Lung-Purifying Syrup, and now I don't cough anymore, but I still have nasal discharge. I don't have any other discomfort. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

If the child only has a runny nose without other symptoms, it should be caused by a stomachache. If accompanied by symptoms like coughing or fever, then it's a fever. Generally, for a runny nose with yellow mucus, cold medicine should be used for wind-heat type conditions. You should take the child to the hospital for a trace element test. Once the results are available, you'll know what type of fever it is, and then you can use medication that matches the symptoms. Pay attention to giving the child more water and more fruits.
