Patient's question:
Five months have passed. Recently, she has been hiccuping a lot, about ten times a day. Her nose often makes a whistling sound, especially when she is feeding. Also, she often cries while feeding. It's clear she's hungry and wants to eat, but her nose keeps making a whistling sound, so she cries and pulls the nipple away. I checked...Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby may have nasal mucosal edema caused by rhinitis, leading to nasal congestion in the child. You can gently massage both sides of the baby's nose or use a warm towel to cover the nose, which can help stabilize the condition significantly.Since the child has frequent colds, I recommend taking the child to the hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination, such as blood tests to determine the cause, trace element tests, checking for coughing, and if present, taking an X-ray to examine whether the lungs and trachea are infected.
The child is sensitive to cephalosporin drugs, so penicillin-based medications should be considered. Don’t be afraid to do a skin test. Penicillin is the least harmful to children.
I hope this helps!
