Patient's question:
Six days illness description: On August 8th, the baby had a little runny nose. On August 12th morning, the baby had a little diarrhea. Past treatment and effectiveness: A small bag of infant acetaminophen and diphenhydramine was taken, divided into 5 doses. What kind of help do you want: How can the baby recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
A 4-month-old infant with a cold has a runny nose. It is a symptom caused by the cold. After getting cold, it can lead to nasal mucosal congestion and runny nose. Anticold medication should be administered as soon as possible. At the current age, the infant can take anticold medication. First, it is necessary to confirm that the baby is only breastfed and has not consumed any other food. If this is confirmed, it could be a case of heatstroke cold, as sometimes babies eat dirty things or play outside and unknowingly put leaves, dirt, or other things into their mouths, which can also lead to diarrhea. It is fine to take the baby outside in 25-degree weather when there is sunlight, and there is no need to keep the child confined indoors for this reason. When going out, open the windows to let in fresh air.
