Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Initially, the symptoms were a cold with runny nose, nasal congestion, and cough. Later, the patient received three days of Duodi and Xianfeng injections at the hospital and took Xinbolin, Amoxicillin, and Hao Wang Hao. The runny nose and cough improved, but the nasal congestion did not resolve, especially worse in the morning and evening. After stopping the injections, the patient did not stop taking the medications. What should be done?Duration and persistence of the current illness: One week
Doctor's answer:
Hello, when severe nasal congestion occurs, it is recommended that the baby inhale a little moist steam. You can use the steam from hot water in the bathroom or the steam from the facial steamer used by the mother. After inhaling for three to five minutes, you can then clear the nasal mucus. This method is much more effective in relieving nasal congestion discomfort than simply using a warm towel on the nose, and it can also help with mucus thinning.If the nasal congestion is severe enough to significantly affect the baby's sleep or appetite, you can ask the pediatrician to prescribe a bottle of nasal drops containing mild vasoconstrictive ingredients.
